I feel you.

Kindness. Glad you are home from the hospital and wishing you all the best!

hospital. Feel better. You did everything right.

We care.

Please keep us posted.

They want to control you when they should be working to help you.

We’re here for you.

This alone. Please use your DU family to lift you. Sending you all my positive energy (from my own COVID bed).

whenever you need us we are here for you

you need.

Some of us are luckier than others, where family are concerned. But there are plenty of us on DU who do know the kind of pain you're feeling. You're not alone, even in Loners.

The one who can be kindest to you, though, is you. That includes asking for help when you need it. If you have a care team for your lymphoma, they might be able to hook you up with a support group of other folks with that condition.

Take it easy, one day at a time. You are worth fighting for, so stay strong.

hopefully,
Bright

I’m so sorry you’ve been going through such challenges without family support. We are here for you, though.

When my adult son got covid, I asked my husband not to tell his MAGA family members for just that reason - the arrogance about the vaccinations. I wonder how sick he (or you) would have been without those shots. My friend who got covid last year was told by her doctor that as sick as she was, she likely would not have survived covid if she hadn’t been fully vaccinated.

Lots of love and hugs and positive energy to you, dear bmichaelh. I’m glad you shared here, and I hope that our support helps you.

…supportive community. I’m glad you have different values from the rest of your family.

Here’s a late night cyber-hug - (((((:hug )))

I think the majority of us here on DU (I’m more of a lurker) know that chosen family is greater than birth family.
Know you are loved. Know we are all pulling for you.
Know that this discussion board is more than that.

Much love, much healing to you.

You are alone when you were quite ill. I am very alone also just trying not to contract covid. My family have either passed away are estranged. Get well soon.

i hope you find us to be a refuge from the storm

a compromised immune system is tricky.
I was married to a woman who developed leukemia.
Our list of infection precautions was long and at times hard to understand.

stay safe and do what you can.

terrible ordeal you have going on; families can be exhausting and depleting.
it's best to not engage too much with families like that, I use the ignore outlook on life quite often. sometimes when I do, I get bashed even more but I just clam up until the storm is over. take care, friend.

Your third paragraph pretty much mirrors my own childhood. You're definitely not alone here.

Do what is best for yourself, ignore the maga and anti-science crap.
