My Brother
My brother has been diagnosed with non Hodgkins lymphoma BCell, probably due to his HepC+ status. He has other physical and mental problems. He has asked me to help him -- accompany him to his doctor visits, help him get Interferon, if it's not too late for him to take it. I will help as much as I can, but I feel so stressed and as though I'm never going to be happy again. As a two-year survivor, I feel a lot of fear around this disease. As a family member, I feel a lot of grief. Knowing his problems, I feel a lot of dread about interacting with him. This sucks. Thank you for letting me share!
