Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Dear Karima, Yes - it probably is just " catching up " , to a degree that you have mentally and physically been through an aweful lot. I know my bp sure went up during chemo! And remember, the chemo has it's own little nastiness when it comes to moods and electrolyte balances. So don't feel bad about the tears and all. Just wish there was someway everything didn't happen all at once. Haven't heard about the trailer situation, but I hope it works out. You and I were kinda in the same boat for awhile...I really felt it when you said you were alone. My nephew has just recently joined me and for this I am grateful! Hope that things work out for you - just take it one day at a time - do what you can, ask for help when you need it...so many people from work and church have helped me a great deal! Maybe your hospital or cancer center can help with referrals too - mine had a few ideas which helped too.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I've had these as a caregiver. in fact you saw the result of one this past week. You may need to try counseling or an antidepressant,but mostly this is part of the adjustment process. Know we're here to talk to and keep your DR informed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Dear Sheila, Thanks for you wonderful note. I didn't know some of this could come from the chemo too. Yuck. Talk about invasive. As for the trailer, we are just waiting for a hard freeze and then the State Police will accompany us to get it. It is supposed to be about 12 degrees tonight so it should be hopefully before Christmas. I had a wonderful day on Sunday. Both of my daughters were here with my grandson and we were all just so silly. It was fun. Thanks again, Karima Re: ANXIETY FROZE ME Dear Karima, Yes - it probably is just " catching up " , to a degree that you have mentally and physically been through an aweful lot.
