Re: Very Anxious
Dawn -
I wish I could be here to give you a pep talk today, but the truth is I'm feeling much of what you are feeling right now. Yesterday my son, 33 yrs old, cried as he hugged me and said he was worried about me and that it wasn't fair that I had to go through this. My heart broke for him. Our children bring the same worries - and precious joys - to us no matter what their ages. I'm worried too, will this new chemo do any good, what will happen next.... my mind doesn't rest from the worry. Maybe I shouldn't be writing this to you; what you need right now is encouragement like you got on the earlier posts. But maybe it will also help in some way to know you aren't alone in your feelings either. And maybe we can buoy each other up in some way. As you start taking the xeloda and start seeing results it will strengthen your spirit. I'm praying I'll see good results soon too. We can do this - we have to do this, for our kids, for ourselves. We can stay strong and keep fighting.
