First off all I think you attitude is amazing, treatment can be rough and it messes with your hormones as well so you can be all over the place.
I had bowel cancer when I was 18 I am now completely cancer free long may it last.
My only advice to you is to talk about everything you are feeling, weird I know but fear is a lot worse when its kept to yourself.
Also make sure you allow yourself to cry, laugh , be angry when you feel them and tell other people not to be scared to do the same. I found a lot off people adopted what I called the 'hospital' face when they came to see me and wouldn't share any good news in their lives as they thought it would be selfish...
AND ginger...fresh ginger, helps with the sickness, if you can't stomach to eat or drink it, just smell it,....or treat yourself to a ginger bread man.
I've only just discovered this thread. Know that I'm aiming good thoughts and prayers your way. You have the strength, and when you don't, we will be your strength.
i wish the best for you and your family. i know what it is like to go through both of that from the side of the family. my Dad had cancer and unfortunately passed away just before xmas on '02.
So I made it through 4 excruciating months of chemo and 18 sessions of radiation. They poisoned me, fried me and I came through it alive. My throat hurts from the radiation burns, but it is healing. I know it sounds like I am whining, but honest-to-god, i am just glad I am made it, as the docs say I am now CANCER FREE!
