Re: It has been a good week, until today
I typed a long reply and all of a sudden I was logged out and it disappeared. And it's too much to type over, 😔
Recap of what I wrote: I miss family; eating to loud, being to loud, or going in the other room so I can watch my own program. All my family have family, and I wake up to a quiet house. I have always been busy and cancer stuff has me slowed down. Then when I am feeling really good I push and want to go hard because I don't know I will feel the next day.
Now, two treatments left....you might as well say I am done with treatment and I am NED and really most Checked out after TcH. I get it everyone has family and lives. I came to this board because its a safe place for me. It's okay to be whatever I want to be, and it seems everyone understands. I tell people the feelings I had they don't know what to say. Or you are being negative and you need to think positive and you have more important things to worry about you have cancer. Or tell me all your complaints but then say but you have cancer I shouldn't complain. Then I have to go into reassure mode when visiting. Idk maybe it's just life.
Tamox does something to your estrogen but what does that do? And herceptin does something to your hormones but what does that do?
