Re: It's that time again...

I'm with you on that one. I too became single during my journey. I started out going to every appointment and treatment with my ex and half way through did it on my own. By the end of my treatment I had visitors that would come to see me. I feel so blessed that the break up happened because I now have some incredible people in my life. And dating is actually turning out to be a little adventure as well.
We will all be there with you for your blood draw. If you have a smartphone, we could actually be right there as you are getting it done.
