I just had to respond to someone I love who asked me where my faith was because I consider vigilance a part of life now... here is my response - anyone with this as an issue or have any opinions on how to deal better with it? Thanks, Kim

I understand that my "attitude" of realism re:the disease can be misconstrued as a lack of faith. When you say to me that I have done everything I can I am taken aback. I feel that I have invested hours of time in treatments, many thousands of dollars of medications, and now it is up to me to be vigilant about watching for recurrence so that my possibility of surviving the next onslaught is better. I believe that God will take care of me but I don't neglect maintenance of my car and wait for the motor to seize up from lack of oil. cont.........
