feeling alone/need support and advice
Hi girls I am still fairly new to blogging but wanted to get my thoughts out there. I have had two surgeries now and have been dealing with an infection from wound of the last surgery for a couple o...
Hi there Mitch,
being sad and down is o.k., crying and screaming can be good therapy so get into it.
If you still have an infection I doubt you will have chemo as it lowers your cell count and they dont like that in onc. land.
Foods are a hard one as I couldn't taste a damn thing and felt like crap ( Taxotere, Cabolatin and Herceptin )most of the time and put on 20kg with this and the steriod combination so dont worry on that one as it is coming off quite quickly now which is great.
I honesltly felt shocking for my last 3 chemos and didn't want to know about them at all, luckily family and friends dragged me there kicking and screaming but I got through it and so will you.
I just finished 6 weeks of radiation and have the burns and fatigue big time but it is a far more enjoyable experience than chemo.
I still have to have Herceptin in my PORT every 3 weeks for 6 more months but I look back at the time when I was having chemo and it was like an out of body experience, I don't know how it happenend but it did and I'm here to tell you and others about it and so shall you, rest, yell,cry, laugh and write to us when you need,
Cheers
