As for the Survivor's Guilt on John doing well after his bone marrow transplant and others you both knew passing away. Why is John doing so well....count it as a blessing that he's helping others as time passes.....things that have worked for John could work for someone else, through how John is doing the medical field can try similar treatment or trials on someone else. John making it is a future helping blessing for others that might not have had a chance for "Hope". Look at is as your John is a Guardian Angel helping others to hopefully have a tomorrow.

Check out with your doctor about your shoulder, first, though. You said something about John's weight. I didn't understand whether the doctor liked or did not like his current weight.

I'd deal with the other things if and when they come up. The best news is that the cancer is not back, and the kidney damage can be mostly reversed. I think your theory about having PTSD could be right. You guys have been through so much. Of course it's going to be hard to deal with the memories of the others who didn't make it. I think that is normal. Hopefully it will get easier in time.<br>Lori<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779594718572241463.post-14716743672140484232008-08-02T01:40:00.000-04:002008-08-02T01:40:00.000-04:00Krissy,Wjile John was having his trans-plant done ...Krissy,<br>Wjile John was having his trans-plant done so was the girl next store to me <br>.

I would guess that you have been so caught in ya'lls own battle for survival that alot of the grieving for your friends has been put off until recently as things start to relax a little for you. I have bouts of it when I run across things that remind me of lost loved ones decades later. You will have some really sad times over memories of them and you will have some laughs over memories of them. In time you will find the balance.<br><br>Regarding the iron in the blood. Is there any chance that dialysis could clear the iron out of the blood and give his kidneys a chance to rest and rebound? Kind of like how some heart patients experience a recovery when put on a heart pump? I think it might be worth asking your doctor if you haven't. Dialysis is miserable I am sure, but if a temporary stint of it could save his kidneys.....<br><br>Anyhooo....Cancer free!
