Prayers for good results on your scan next week. Please let us know!

Thank you for sharing your milestones. I am looking ahead to chemo and like you it is good to have someone who has been through it. Doctors mean well but sometimes they do not prepare you for what is next.

Good luck on your blood work!

Thank u so much for the encouragement Everything happened so fast and right now I am having a really difficult time dealing with everything. I had surgery 4 weeks ago and I am still having quite a bit of pain and discomfort. Is this normal ? I expected to feel much better than this by now and wanted to get back to work but the way I feel right now there is no way I can return to work for at least another week or so. It's been very discouraging

Thanks for your post a few days ago! I don't get on here as much anymore...just occasionally. Now that I am post treatment I am trying to not worry about it coming back and just trying to move on with life. It has been hard with three little kids, but I also think it's made the process easy too since I have had other people to focus on 3 girls are the best! How have you been feeling post treatment? I am heading to see my new oncologist in five days for my three month check up. We moved a month after I had finished treatment so everything is new for me here. We'll see how it goes. Hope you are feeling well! I see you had an allergic reaction to oxi too...I hope to never have to go on that stuff again. Every time I would need huge amounts of Benadryl and extra steroids to ward off the hives! They were horrible.
