I have been dealing with other things, you are correct. I have been dealing with the historical child sexual abuse with the Police. While this has been hard work, it has also been empowering and literally life-changing. Because it has a long way before getting to court, I can't say too much. I have been very fortunate with the Police officer who has taken on my case. He has gone above and beyond any professional requirements and that has kept me going through the months of preparation, hours and hours of statements and other things that have been happening that I can't disclose. It is what pushed be toward taking a step in a new direction.
This also linked with the issues with my health as I wrote of in my first post. Back in November the doctors thought they had run out of tricks and things were looking "short-term". The process with the Poice has allowed me to feel I could take charge of my health decisions and treatment options. Medicaly, I am more fit now than I was nearly six years ago when I was first diagnosed. I am no longer going to listen to their doom and gloom. I am trying to enjoy my life for whatever time I have left.
I am aware there are organisations out there that I can speak with. However, I never find that very helpful. However, I must say that I am finding this chatting a great deal of help. It makes so much difference when you can feel that the other person understands from their own experience not from a text book.
Thank you again for your insight.
