Two of you have specifically responded to my blog Keeping Perspective entry. I do appreciate being helped to keep my situation in a realistic perspective. When I am feeling lower (like now), I am reminded that I am one among many and many of my fellow human beings have lives of much greater suffering.
Here are the two perspectives:
- A newsletter from a project in Kampala, Uganda that includes a number of stories in its two pages that shows the harsh difficulties that people face and the liberation received by some. You can go to their website at: <www.comeuganda.org.au>. You might find it very slow or too hard to access the newsletters, but the home page link given here comes up quickly.
- Two different cases of cancer and their outcomes. ‘A very nasty metastatic Sarcoma cancer for 10 years now and has endured 6 or 7 different lots of Chemotherapy so lost and regrown all her hair many times(not all Chemo makes your hair fall out). She has also had radiotherapy, special diets, meditation, and operations for bowel obstructions. She is only 51 and has had 10 very good years except for a few days here and there feeling sick from Chemo which she says is worth it’. The cancer has now returned and she has retired. One lot of chemo causing a supposedly inoperable brain tumour to disappear. Without the proof of the biopsy they would have doubted the diagnosis.
