just had to write to express how nice it was to hear what both Al and Tom had to say and you better believe that I will be having my wonderful hubby read their posts. he has been very supportive going to every appointment with me so far but he isn't very expressive emotionally and sometimes us women just need to hear things. I can so relate to what was said by some about how at times the tv seems more important or playing golf is more of a priority, etc, but that doesn't mean they don't care. Some just have trouble putting it into words or wanting to because it makes them too sad to think so much about it. In my case, I know he cares very much even if he doesn't like to talk about it. It is too difficult for him to think about it and talk about it, but I know I can count on him. Al and Tom you are both two very special men.
Now about this weight gain issue. May I please complain about how bummed I am that I will be gaining weight from treatment! Darn right angry over it too. I work so hard at staying in shape and still am not at my ideal weight by no means and now I am going to gain even more weight! Geeeezzzz, losing hair is nothing, we all get it back but the weight gain....now that is a serious problems and it sounds like it doesn't come off that easily. Any feedback from other members? Thank you..
