I cannot give up now

[roro]

for those who don't know me, I have lyme disease and have been toying with the idea of moving to oregon and getting physician assisted suicide or going to sweden or something.
well I can't now. no matter how bad the suffering gets I have to suffer through and survive.
my worst fear has come true. my son has it
he is 17 and so full of life, an amazing athlete, gifted student. this disease just sucks. i hope we caught it early and he can be cured, i dont want him to end up with permanent neuro, brain, heart damage.
now I have to be strong for him. if I kill myself, what kind of message would that send to him, who has the same disease?

Oh God I am so sorry to hear this :hug:

I am sorry to hear about both you and your son. I have known others with this disease and they were able to go on and lead healthy, productive lives. I hope this is true for the both of you. You are right about the message it would send to your son. Stay strong. You both need to be. I will hold you in my thoughts. :hug:
