Chemotherapy Support Group

chemo affects everyone differently I know that when i went through chemo having a positive atitude helped alot. I relized that it was something i had to do and so i tried to have a positive attiitude. You say yoou say you miss her so you need to talk to her. even though she doesnt wanna talk about it, she obviously neeeds you and you just need to support her and give her encouragment

I won't lie, chemo stinks, but it's also all consuming. Personally I just don't want to talk about to people I love too. Your sick and tired. What she probably wants to hear is how exciting school is. She wants to hear about everything else but what she's going thru. I find it's harder on my family and friends emotionally than myself. I'm living it, so I don't have questions. It's those around me that are overwhelmed with fears. Don't beat yourself up, you are worried and that's the reality. So is your Mom, my suggestions is to simply state to her that your scared and if she does want to talk about it you are adult enough to hear it, but if she doesn't that's ok too. Write her a letter to say how much you love and miss her, it will brighten her day and she can take it with her to treatments. I don't have children but tons of nieces and nephews. MY youngest wrote me notes that I take with me. My oldest niece is 22. She calls to check on me and starts every call with "So, how ya doin, other than the cancer, haha" I don't have cancer but that's her way of joking and seeing if I want to talk. Sometimes I do, most times I don't but I know I can.
Make sense? HOpe this helps. Good luck to you and your Mom.
