Just wanted to share my 9 year survival point with everyone. Next week will be officially the 9 year point.
When I was diagnosed at 25, I thought my world was coming to an end. A great friend's mom told me to watch out for the silver linings in the storm clouds. Today, I'm a better person for the experience. It changed me in ways that are very hard to describe. It made me a more empathetic person and also a very determined person.
At the same time, during my initial diagnosis I had incredible experiences that may not make any sense, but I could see auras around people. It was a very intense experience that some have attributed to the holy spirit holding me up so much during that time.
Anyone else experience anything like that just after diagnosis?
