Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Annie, You feel this way regardless of how much support because it is YOU who is going through it, no one else.. You will be okay... A lot is the fear of the unknown... you can't believe any of this until you start the routine and see that you can do it!! Best of luck and keep us posted! Hugs to you!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 This is SO Normal of a feeling - I thought I was going to die and was so scared. That is a natural thing to feel of the inknown. I just finised my 3rd treatment of Chemo and have one more to go b/4 starting Radiation. My first experience was not pleasant as I ended up with Netropina, low white blood count. I have had the Nelasta shot after every other treatment and it has helped tremendously with the count and my energy. Please don't be afraid - Chemo will wipe out all of those floating cancer cells in your body. With God all things are possible, please keep Him by your side and all of us are praying for you.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Personally I'd recommend a therapist, as it sounds like your feelings/fears run very deep, maybe you were abandoned when you needed help most? At some point in your life? It could be so many things, and you cannot live like this. Please consider talking with someone, there is no shame in it. I'm sure many of us (me included) see a therapist. I hope for the best for you and that you can find some peace. Love, Pat chemo I start chemo on March 1st and I am so afraid.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I thing waiting for that 1st chemo is hard. It's the unknown. It will hopefully be better once you start, it was for me. I had great chemo nurses. At first it feels like it will that forever, but next thing you know it will be almost over. I just finished my 6th treatment, 2 more to go. Do you go in for a chemo consult before your 1st chemo. The nurse I saw for that was more informative than my onc. If you don't have good veins, ask about geting a port. They have a lot of got meds for nausea, take them just like the nurses tell you. I was only sick after my 4th treatment on A/C and I thing it was because I ate a greasy breakfast sandwich befor chemo (my husband and ran and got it for me, so that I shoud eat it). After that I just had to tell him, thanks but no thanks. Most people get thru with little or no trouble. We are all different as you will read many times and this site. Listen to your body, rest when it tells you to. Prayers, Joyce --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos? Browse Top Cars by " Green Rating " at Yahoo! Autos' Green Center.
