Floored! (chemotherapy experiences)

Hello Tink

Sorry to hear how you are feeling, if you spend every day on the couch it's because you need it. When you start to feel better once chemo has finished you then realise just how awful you really felt while doing chemo even on the good days. Losing your/my hair is a biggy but there is nothing much you can do about it, try and retain a sense of humor and you are better than a good hair style. it's humbling in away. I then had a bilateral mastectomy with no reconstion My girls were very big (18 G) and again I am better than a pair of breasts. I really feel for the young man of 23 yrs down in Esperance who lost his hands to a shark, I have a son who surfs and is 23yrs old. I am at the end of my journey and will live in fear as I am high risk at coming back but I am lucky in lot's of ways and my journey has taught me how important relationships are and just to enjoy the simple things like not feeling as bad as yesterday and oh great the sun is shining and winter nearly finished. You will soon be at my stage trust me, and giving a positive blog to others. Very good luck on your journey and stay in touch and use this site. It's a wonderful way to off load as even though hopefully you are surrounded with people who care but sometimes you just need to talk cancer and of course we are the best people to do that with.

cyber hug and you will beat this.
