Karen and all members of the depression forum

Good Afternoon to some of the top members in HealingWell.  I wanted to take the time to say thank you to all of you who have been supporting me through my battle with cancer and of course the spiked anxiety and depression.

It seems it is common after chemo to fluctate for 6 months to up to a year with sx of the side effects of the chemo and I was blessed and had most every sx listed. 

The side effects that brings me down the most is the extreme fatigue.  Last week was a good week.   Yesterday I hardly had enough energy to get out of bed and spent most of the day dozing.  I hate this feeling of being on a merry-go-round as I am always worrying about what the next day may bring or do I dare make plans...............

I made it through 10 rounds of chemo and than it was stopped by my oncologist who felt continuing may cause me permanent nerve damage. 

Karen you have always supported me and befriended me and for that I will be forever greatful.  I do hope the members of this forum know how fortunate they are to have you as their moderator.  I love you my friend and thank you.

Keep up the good fight Kitt, we are all pulling for you!

Peace and healing
Trina

Thanks all.

 

xina62,

I have questions re what am I suppose to do now and why me over and over and there is no answer.  I wonder at times why I  am here and then I remember how much I love my family and I want to be here with them as long as my God allows me.  I try very hard not to worry about all the things that could go wrong and if they do well I will deal with them as I have no choice -

The ups and downs are extremely tough but when I feel good I am so very greatful that I am able to do what I like to on a limited basis.  When the bad days happen I kick, and scratch and vent as my mind does not know what to do.

Xina, remember the world is a better place because you live and serve within it.

Glad to meet you,

Kitt

Oh Kitt I didn't know!!

Please keep us posted.

I am inspired by your spirit. You could have chosen lots of different ways to write this post, but I think it speaks volumes that you said you "made it through ten rounds of chemo". I read that and immediately pictured someone like a Mickey Rourke (in that wrestling movie) or a Hulk Hogan bragging that he "made it through" ten rounds. You are as much as part of your treatment as the drugs. You could have said "I had ten rounds of chemo" or "they gave me ten rounds of chemo". You made it through. You're fighting cancer with every fiber of your being, and not too long from now you're going to beat it.

Keep up the good work Dee!

Peace
Trina
