I'm sorry I haven't been around much or posting to others. I am dealing with levels of fatigue that I have never felt before. Not much else to say. One day I think I have a handle on everything, the next day I cry for hours. I've got side effects. My hair is coming out in clumps. I'm in pain. I want my life back. But all I can hope for is remission....and even that will be a very different kind of life than the one I had. Boy am I a downer today.

Thinking of you... You are an incredibly strong person not only to go through your treatment, but to express it here. Stay strong and be good to yourself. Take care

Diane, thanks for the update. My son just celebrated two years of being cancer free. Also they say that his chances of getting the same kind of cancer again at this point is very rare. He is living life again and I know you will too.

I think it's ok for you to have a downer day. I think you're a trooper and I think you're going to get through this. It won't be easy. But you're stronger than you give yourself credit for (downer days and all). I am praying for you. I hope you catch up on your rest <3

Thank you for keeping us updated on how you are doing. I know how difficult this is for you and you will have some good days and some bad days. Two years ago. I had surgery, chemo, and radiation. I just went to the encologist and everything is normal. When my hair started to fall out in clumps, I had my head shaved. That was difficult, but it was better than finding hands filled with clumps of hair. I found some nice scarfs that are made for people who have cancer. I wasn't brave enough to go with my head uncovered, but many people do. Just take one day at a time and you can get through this. Get a lot of rest as the treatments can cause extreme tiredness. Message me if you want to talk.
