So, As most of you know, I've been gone.
So, if you happen to be a new reader, here is where I was:
The WONDERFUL hospital. It was a wonderful stay. You know, going through Chemotherapy, trying to rid the cancer that has taken home inside my body.
Well, most of you are wagging your tails to hear my results, eh?
I have good news and Bad news.
Good news is, I managed to keep my hair during Chemo surprisingly, though its quite short right now.
Oh, and I do NOT have Leukemia anymore ;D
Bad news is, while in Chemotherapy, they wanted to do a couple scans and tests, etc, and they found something else.
Its called Multiple Sclerosis and a possible future of 1) blindness 2) Becoming Crippled 3) losing feeling in my legs/hands/body 4) No longer really having Control of my body
What is MS?
Its a disease that makes the central nervous systom decinerate. Blah blah. So in other words, I won't be doing sports this year, and I be in a wheel chair before I graduate college (assumingly). Well, It isn't neccessarily fatal, but it just... *curses are present at this interval ;p -Alysa editted after posted* So yes, Good-bye Leukemia, but it happened to take my nervous system with it....Darn.
At least I'll win in the contest where you see how long you can keep your hand in boiling water :D
I'll check in with the boards and then return with more information! See ya

PS. Sorry I'm kind of making a big deal, I guess I'm just...scared, I suppose.
Keep reading ;D

Making a big deal? What in the world are you talking about, boy? You've honestly impressed me with your tendency not to dwell on the bad and think about the positive.
It's great that you no longer have leukemia, althugh MS is not exactly a bouquet of roses (haha, get it? *see post title*). My aunt has it and she can barely walk.
Just stay positive and take care of yourself. I know there are some things the doctors can do to help with MS, but I know that the extent of the help is limited.
Again, just keep thinking positive. And always know that if you need someone to talk to you at least know you have two people who will always be here to listen.
Keep your chin up, Ash, and keep fighting!
Like Jess said, you impress me! The fact that your trying to stay positive about it is amazing to me. The whole time you were gone, Jess and D just kept telling me to think positive thoughts and nothing else. I really missed you.
MS isnt the greatest thing in the world, but you have some great friends and family (And some crazy girls here) that love you and are willing to help you get through this.
As long as you keep fighting, we'll keep fighting for you. Jess actually was at the movies and saw a commercial (?) about standing up for cancer, and she stood up in the middle of the theatre. I would have too, but you know, the whole, living in other states thing.. lol. That and the fact that I wasnt at the movies.. lol. So yeah...
