Last Friday was my last chemo. I have been on a trial so have had 8 chemos instead of the usual 6 - one every 3 weeks, so it feels like I have been sick for ever. Thank goodness its over!!!!! My cancer was considered too aggressive to have surgery first so it was recommended that chemo commense immediately.
Now thats over I am booked in for surgery on January 12th, so not much to look forward to in the New Year. I want the surgery over but am scared to death of going under the knife. I am trying not to think about it as this is the phase which is scaring my girls (12 year old twins) the most. If I stay calm they seem to be okay, and if they are okay then so am I.
I can now ignore the phone (and the mobile - because if you don't answer the home phone then they ring the mobile, when all else fails they will send you a SMS) when I don't feel like talking. I can say no please don't visit and nobody minds. Your friends and family will understand. Its all about you for the moment. Be good to you.
I love this site because you can say how you feel without fear of retribution from others. There are so many wonderful people out there who will agree or offer advise. I don't feel alone anymore.
