hitting rock bottom... am I there yet?

Hello Friends throughout the blogosphere.

This past week has been the worst week of my life.  As I am typing this, I kind of feel like I am in the middle of a nightmare and praying that somehow, some way, I can wake up and someone will tell me that the nightmare is over.  And although I have tried to be a private person about my family, I need some support and wise minds helping me out.  Please....

One week ago, we learned that my mother has leukemia.  It hit us like a ton of bricks.  She has always been healthy and the solid figure in our family.  She is mom.  She is all powerful and not suppose to be hit with such a devastating disease.  On Monday, we learned it was (Acute) AML Leukemia and last night she began induction chemotherapy and we are praying that this works.  It HAS to work... dying now is not an option. 

So here is what I need from this wise blogosphere:

I need to hear success stories about people surviving AML leukemia.  I don't want to put in links here, because I have searched the Internet for days and just get depressed with stats and sad stories.  I need to hear from the folks that have beat this monster and share this with my mother. I need to hear about families that have conquered this disease.  I don't not need to hear about crappy stats or people feeling sorry for me and my family.  I have been getting that every day and it just makes me cry.  So instead, I turn to you... my community of friends and mommy bloggers to share their success stories and how they survived.  How their families could live and deal with this... and how I can wake up and have my mom back - healthy, strong and part of our lives.
