I want to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am sitting here crying. I just had my 5th session with Chemo yesterday for Colon Cancer. I have really good doctors and a great supportive family. I am crying because for the first time in a long time, I think I might be ok. That I can beat this thing.
I spent the summer in the hospital because of the cancer and a couple other problems. I had an appointment with the doctor that morning but was in such pain I went during the night. That was when they found the cancer trying to fix the other problems. I was very lucky.
I also agree, do the check-ups. My situation was a little different but I have to admit that had I not had the pain from the other problems, I would have put the check-up off. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!! We need everyone we love with us as long as possible!
Right now I am planning the Disney Trip that my granddaughters were supposed to take last summer for the first week in September this year. I have decided to do what it takes for me to be well enough to be with my granddaughters!!!!
Thank you all. Thank you to the original poster. You gave me courage to come to grips with this! THANK YOU!!!!
