I know what you are saying. I think Im in a better place right now with my chemo finally over but I was terrified at first, not knowing anything and trying to find out all the information I can. I still have my days where I get terrified then I decide that with the support of my friends, the grace of God and for the love of my children, I will fight this with all I have and become the better for it. Information and Education is the key to fear, not knowing and not understanding I find more fearful than anything. Hold on, Hang in there and don't be afraid of your feelings. Everyone hear has been there and are walking the same path. Its hard sometimes to be positive but I find for the most part, once I have my bad time, if I can shake it off and be positive, even for my kids, I feel so much better. Don't be afraid to let your kids lead you for awhile. I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old. Some days I just find impossible until I look at them a I find all my strength come from them. They are little miracles when they are born and they will always be my little miracles. Good Luck and keep us in the loop.
