Is it okay to cuss on here?? Cuz this is a Bitch
Yes, I said it the life altering drugs are not making me a happy camper! I go for my herceptin/projecta today, and never look forward to the 3 hour round trip.
This is number 5, and I know I am A newbie to treatment for life......today, I am mad, I want to cry, I want to quit.....today this being my life isn't wanted. This to shall pass as my Grandma would say. I think I was riding on the shock of it all and now it's reality. It's hard for me to except no end game besides it doesn't make sense anymore.....meaning treatment is done and die.
I know people can live for years on treatment, and I just don't know how you continue to get through.
So I am sitting here drinking my coffee thinking and crying about my 12:30 appt today and rather be anywhere else.
On a positive note the visible lump has swollen.
