It's been a while.....Life just takes over and before you know it, you've lost touch

It's been a while......................Life just takes over and before you know it, you've lost touch. Just to remind you, I suffer from severe depression, anxiety, panic attacks, moderate agoraphobia, I take a handful of drugs daily, which kind of numbs me. But this is where the story changes............................

May 1, 2014 my husband was diagnosed with cancer, not just any cancer but a rare form called GIST (Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare cancer affecting the digestive tract or nearby structures within the abdomen. GI stromal tumor, or GIST cancer, is a sarcoma. Sarcomas are cancers that grow from cells of the body’s connective or supportive tissues such as bone, cartilage, tendons, nerves, fat, muscle, synovial tissue (tissue around joints), or blood vessels. (Most cancers are carcinomas, not sarcomas.) http://www.gistsupport.org/about-gist/what-is-gist.php

It's been a ride, a rough one that I'd rather get off of, but you can't just stop the rollercoaster because it gets uncomfortable. My ride has been slow from the start, then a lot of ups, and mainly downs, stomach churning, gut wrenching, and heart stopping. I'll tell you one thing, putting your emotions on the shelf isn't easy, you become numb to most things, from patient to caregiver, it hasn't been easy.
