I start my chemo Weds morning.......FINALLY!!!

Genia

I am dreading it so badly........but this tumor is growing like crazy!!!  

I love my new Oncologist........he is very smart and wants to get this started immediately.  It's been almost 3 months since I was diagnosed and I haven't had the first treatment yet.  Craziness..............

Genia,

Super news!!

As bad as it seems, you must be relieved to be starting something, finally!!  And, just maybe, you'll be one of the lucky ones who tolerate the chemo better than others.

I'm so happy to hear that you are on a treatment course, at last, with a doctor you trust!

Hugs and best wishes,

Susan

Genia

Hey Genia! Good luck at the Chief Poisoner's. I was so scared I nearly threw up on my way there. Well, that was 18 weeks ago, and Friday is my LAST day. PROOF that it comes to an end. Take much care of yourself.

Also nice to see it comes to an end.......because that's a long way down the road for me.

Just had to chime in and say good luck,  I too was dreading chemo, scared to death, and it turns out its was nothing as bad as i imagined.  Sure i had a couple of rough days, but nothing like i thought, and I have my last one (thank you god!) on Monday, time flies!!!

Genia,

Boy do I know how you feel!  I had my first chemo this past Friday, I was a nervous wreck, but they gave me Ativan prior to starting and at that point on they could have put kryptonite in my veins and I would not have cared!  If they don't offer it, ask for it, it really does help, especially your first time.  I am scheduled for my 2nd tx Oct. 3rd, and I think I can handle it this time without the Ativan. I hope

Good luck!

LOL......Sue that made me laugh out loud!!!  KRYPTONITE???   Well as scared as I am.....it wouldn't make any difference if it was Kryptonite or whatever they wanted to put......I wouldn't be any more afraid!!!!

I hope they give me something to calm me down......cause I am already a basket case.  In my head........lethal injection couldn't be much worse.......and I'm bein serious!!!!!!!  

I feel right now like I want to just go outside and start running......and never come back!!!  Maybe if I run hard enough.......and far away enough.....I can outrun this stupid cancer!!!

I know this is craziness........but that's exactly how I feel right now!!!!!

Thanks you guys.........you make things so much easier to bear.......just knowing I'm not alone here!!!!!!!!

In my thoughts tomorrow

 Much luck

Genia,  I will be thinking of you tomorrow.   As scary as it seems, once it starts it really isn't that bad.  The waiting and the worrying is worse.  If we can do this, you can too.   

 Hang in there, we're all with you.
