Hello,

My son had Ewing's Sarcoma and has been in remission for 4 years now. I have looked for support groups on having survived but have found that if your child survived, congrats live your life. However what if you still feel the cancer? What if it feels like the place you use to call home is now dead inside, infected with the cancer? That you have no motivation because the cancer ate it all up? Who do you talk to? Am I alone? Surely not, surely others must feel the same. 

I should mention that a few months after we bought our house my dad suffered a heart attack  and lived. One year later my adopted mom died suddenly and unexpected. Nine months later our son gets cancer that put us in oncology for 12 months. Six months following that, February 2012 my dad is dx with a benign brain tumor that needs surgery and rehab. May of that year, after waiting for a positive MRI for 8 years, I was dx with multiple sclerosis. It has been one heck of a ride!

So, please if anyone feels the same about their selves or home let me know! I need to know I'm not alone!

Thanks
