I am four years out and I, like everyone else that has had this dreaded disease, am afraid to say I am cured. I will say I have clear ct's and everything looks good according to my doctors, however with each pain I am always expecting the worse. I am better now than I was three years ago and I hope that eventually my fear will go away. But I suffered the trips to the bathroom, weight loss, mouth sores, no appetite, feeling so tired that I needed naps. All of this is part of the process and I know I will never have the energy level that I once had, but today my conditions seems totally normal to me. I am grateful to be alive and enjoying this beautiful day. A positive attitude and good nutrition is the most important thing. I had to force myself to eat one or two bites of something loaded with calories every hour, and meat and Ensure was out of the question, so I depended on cheese for protein. Keep your spirits up and expect the best until someone tells you differently. My prayers are with you. Keep us posted, I depend on this board each day to lift my spirits or allow me to give comfort to someone else thats hurting and scared.
