Re: I think cancer treatment can be in humane
It doesn't feel like a regular burn now it feels painful. It is really tender, and I just keep hoping I will wake up and it feels better. I could handle a sunburn but I think this just is different pain. I think it is more pain then after the masectomy. However, I am just flat out tired, and tired of treatments. Like all the treatments are cummulative and I just feel pain and simply wore out. Then I have these jabbing pains on and off. i feel like this is a toothache and it is always there no matter what you do or the pain pills you take. I am supposed to have a herceptin treatment on Wednesday, and I am going to call and see if I can do it next Wednesday. I just really, really need a break. I need a little time to heal so I can re-focus and be stronger. I feel like I have been up for days, drug thru the mud and even mentally I am at my wits end. I sure wish I had a husband that could help get me thru this, but I do not. The buck stops at me, and to repeat myself I am just plain tired, and I guess feeling sorry for myself right now. And I know people on this board understand....
