Hey,
Just wanted to say thank you for the "like" today and also the kind words you wrote suggesting another member contact me. The like came at a time today when I needed it the most and I just wanted you to know that I appreciate the gesture. I hope all is well, Carm.

Dear Southern Mom, chemo brain is so much fun!! By the way I'm being sarcastic. I threw my phone charger in the trash the other day and let my dogs outside to run, we live in the country. I forgot I put them out until our golden retriever was literally knocking on the door! ( LOL) I forget what I'm saying in mid-sentence or just can't quite grasp the word I want to use. It is frustrating to say the least. Some days are worse than others. I do a lot of word search and unscramble word type puzzles to try and keep my brain moving. My husband thinks it's funny, I have to laugh at myself at times but I know exactly how you feel. I hope it gets better but my experience is that it's all part of what we put up with during treatment. Your boys are adorable! Blessings to all of you. Forgive me if I have spelling errors, i suffer from CHEMO BRAIN!!!

No, finished end of May 2012.

I am not sure how to write back and forth on here. I am doing good now but it wasn't an easy journey. I started treatment in March 2012 and finished in the end of 2012. I am now NED (no evidence of Disease) and am starting to feel more like me.

Hi SouthernMom,
My vaginal cancer diagnosis was a little under a year ago. If you want to chat with me, message back. I can share with you what my experience has been. I have an 8 year old daughter so I understand what it's like to have a child while dealing with all of this. Keep in mind everyone's journey is different...but I'm here!
