Re: Starting WBR tomorrow...nervous & scared

Jessica,

My prayers are for you to smack those invaders down permanently! Your fear is only a natural reaction to the UNKNOWN and that really cannot be argued away. The knowledge you now have will allow you to pray against those side effects. In other words, you know what to ask for, so ask away and if you share with us your worst fears we too can pray those symptoms never manifest from your treatment. Tell us what to pray for and we will pray specifically, so for starters I will pray you suffer only mild fatigue or even better, ZERO fatigue! Also, I am asking that in addition to great success this treatment causes ZERO neurological side effects and that you feel well enough to manage your care and affairs independently.

You are one tough cookie, but even the bravest quake at the thought of WBR. I know you are up to the challenge however daunting. Let us know how the mask fitting goes and when you get your first round of zaps.

Sending love and prayers you way.
