Hi Razmataz
I do hope to meet you when I finally make it up to Olympia. I need to make it up to Washington before mid-October because taking a Uhaul over the mountians can be pretty dicey after that

I have had no side effects from treatments thank God. Ok

Go to Ebay and get a body pillow. Good to take pressure off of hips and backs- Amazon is too expensive and has bad designs.

Walmart advertises body pillows online- and in store---but people re complaining they are COVERS for body pillows--wanted to save you that frustration

Sorry to hear of your recurrence. Do you have a treatment plan? I know you've had some emotional struggles. How are you doing? I know this must be quite a blow, but I hope you find that strength to soldier on. And we are still here for you! Always!

Thank you for responding...The last couple of days have been really tough. My husband has been extremely weak and suffering from mouth sores which is just one more thing to impede his appetite. Today has been a little better.

Hello. Been near death but I think finally on the mend. Waiting on some test results to see if my neph tubes need switched out sooner than later. Been 4 months looks like I'm stuck with the tubes for a while. As far as my own question I posted regarding to justify I don't care anymore after this most recent brush with death. So not sure if that helps. Lol. Hope you are well. How are you?

Thanks for the encouragement. Finally decided to take an antidepressant about 3 months ago along with a new antidepressant/sleeping pill. Felt I needed to be "strong" the past year and finally decided I could ask for help - joining this group is part of that process. It's comforting to know that my thoughts are not crazy and that yes, it may take longer to recover from this than past illnesses like broken bones and gastric surgeries. Have to recognize I'm 66, am dealing with cancer and blindness and I have a "right" to be tired (and sometimes cranky). Keep your positive attitude, your comments are comforting and appreciated. Hugs back at you......

It is good to push yourself. But this is one area in which you should definitely consult your doctor. My Dr.s were always very doomy and gloomy about my recoveries. so I did recover quicker that my Dr.s expected. But then I have remained alive and cancer free longer than they predicted. However recovery is not just pushing yourself. It is studying nutrition (go beyond Google) and adjusting your diet. A visit to a nutritionist is advisable but don't just leave it there get some reading material.
Secondly get guided exercise either some physical therapy or join a cancer survival group at your local YMCA our Y has five different programs for cancer survivors some sponsored thy the LIVESTRONG foundation.
Good Luck on your journey

Hi razmataz, It sounds like we've had similar treatments and experiences. I had endometrial cancer, so a little bit different. But, I had 6 chemos, radiation, blood clots in the lungs. Then, they found thyroid cancer when that treatment was all over. I'm in remission now, though, so there is hope.
