Hi

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I had 4 chemo's and 35 rads plus full hysterectomy last year. New normal is what life is but you make it the way you feel is best for you. And new normal is everyday for the rest of your life. It means we don't take anything for granted. Life is not as carefree as before. You have had a terrible thing happen to you. You have chemo and feel ill and maybe don't do too much for a few days and then if you do feel better your bloodcounts go low and they tell you to not go out too much. If you have to go to a store with a shopping cart you really don't need to go there and church don't shake people's hands or miss. this week all together. God will understand:) Doctors would tell me I was too angry and try to take each day as it came. It was not until 1 year later that treatment ended and my mamo was clear and bloodwork was good that I put this all behind me. But none of us forget the day we got the bad news and this friday it is the day 1 year ago I had my first chemo. I'm sorry that in the next few weeks your hair will fall out its not easy for any of us to be bald. Almost 12 days the hair starts coming out, have you ordered a wig yet?? It's too cold for only a hat.
If you feel like pouring out your heart I hope you have someone you can trust that will let you have a shoulder to cry on and tell you no this is not fair for you or anyone to go thru. Make sure you get good pain medication for those bone and joint pains can get worse. You need not suffer thru anything more than you have to. Try talking with the nurse's who do the chemo treatments they are wonderful...........they know more than the doctors.
Things is some respect things will get worse before they get better. I was lucky that my husband went with me to my treatments. Afterwards we went to lunch and a trip to the "Coach Outlet" for whatever I wanted. I now hope that I will only go there with girlfriends for fun and not after any treatment. I only mean treat YOURSELF to something you deserve it! Buy flowers eat a whole chocolate cake whatever...
This cancer is about you----do whatever you need to do to get thru what seems like a huge mountain in front of you. Make the climb one step at a time.
Take careView Thread
