Today I received the diagnosis GIST, which is located in my stomach.
So, at this moment I`m very depressed, frightened, and despaired. Suddenly, I don`t have any more plans for the future In my future perspective, I can see only operations, hospitals, drugs, pain...Sorry that I bother you all, but there is the night, I am feeling so lonely and I`ve just needed to write this.
