Building a Support Team
You will need physical support. You will need help with special diets and meal preparation, with chores, with trips to see the healthcare professional, and perhaps financial help.
You will need emotional support. Gather around you people that encourage you and beleive in the treatment choices you have made. Sweetly tell well meaning family and friends, who discourage you, that you have all you can handle. If they can't keep from discouraging you, you will be forced to avoid them until you get well.
You will need spiritual support. Ask the elders of your church to anoint you with oil and pray for your healing. See James 5:14-16. If your elders won't support you find a friend's church that will. Surround yourself with people who uplift you spiritually. Spend time everyday reading God's Word and praying.
