Kevin’s letter

It’s week three and today I’m posting Karrie’s letter. In it, we share the moment she learned she had MS: “He introduced himself and shook my hand. His hands were cold, similar to his personality. He said, ‘You have Multiple Sclerosis and you will need to follow up with a neurologist.’  He handed me a brochure and left my room.” Please click the link below to read Karrie’s diagnosis story.

Today I’m posting a powerful letter from John. In it, he writes, “That day, a grey Tuesday in a grey September, lasted longer than any day I can remember. As prepared as I was for bad news, the diagnosis was still, on some level, shocking.” Please click on the link below to read this moving letter.

It’s day eleven and today I’m posting another letter from someone called Jenny. This Jenny, however, is not from New Zealand; she’s from the Netherlands. Her journey to being diagnosed with MS was a frightening one, with a doctor first telling her that her symptoms were as a result of metastasised tumours in her brain.

Today’s letter is from Jenny in New Zealand. In it, she exposes the lack of skill some in the medical profession have when dealing with the difficult task of telling someone they have MS. However, her letter is also incredibly positive and demonstrates her great strength of character. Please click on the link below to read her story.
