Barbara,
It sounds like you are dealing with it all. I do know what you are saying. Chemo is so life changing. It has been twelve years and I still get tired easily. Sigh BUT we must go on. Take care.
Love,
Barbara

Wow!! Barbara the chemo certainly has side effects which I was not aware of. Well we will still prey for you and hope that the 21st June visit will all have good news. God be with you.

Comment from Cornelius2000
This compendium of camcer amd camcer treatment after-effects could be very helpful to someone anticipating radiation and/or chemo. Sometimes the most frightening part of something new is simply not knowing what to expect. It's written well and mostly error free, except for the last paragraph in which "sunbathes" and "one of my boys seems" need to be fixed.
So much of what we read is trivial, but this is serious, good stuff. Well done.

Barbara, you and your "essay" are truly gems - ooh - can a gem be inspiring? some artistic licence is surely warranted! Stay well, my dear - you have a huge & supportive family here at FS by the sounds of things!

This is a very interesting follow-up. I hope you are doing well and continue to improve. I will be 5 years free in October and I am so looking forward to it. I had no idea that radiation could cause all those problems. Thank you for sharing and hang in there. And you are in my prayers.

I actually had more problems with radiation than I did with chemo. Most people it's the other way around. I appreciate the kind review.

Hi Barbara,
As you know I am a cancer survivor of many years. But when anything goes wrong I still wonder if it is back...that stays with you forever. I never had any treatment but surgery and from what you have written here maybe I am glad I didn't! Thanks so much for this update as I know we have all wondered how your are getting by. At least the cancer has not reared it ugly head again and I am sure you are cured. Praise God! Blessings, chey

You have written an informative and interesting essay however I'm not sure I like the way you have arranged it into point form. Have you tried leaving out the numbers and thus making it seem less clinical and more personal?

It's possible, I think it's easier to take one at a time this way. Thank you for your review.
