I wish I could have one good day. I wish I could go one day without the horrible taste in my mouth my chemotherapy is causing 90% of the time. I wish I could drink something besides room temperature water. I wish I could have one ice cream cone. My tolerance for food I can eat is dropping along with my weight.

I must survive these treatments until February, or stop them and risk my chances for survival. I'm not depressed, but I should be, and maybe I will be. I must serch for the good in my life and wait for a recovery that can make that happen.

I have been off this site for about a month because I didn't feel that I had anything good to offer you. Now I offer you a wish for good health. It is a starting place.

Hi Caring Person,

I wish I could give you all those simple things that you wish for. I believe there is plenty you can offer us on this site - your presence and sharing your story of what you are going through. Never think you need to provide anything more than who you are.

I hope you are doing ok. It must be very difficult to endure the treatments and February must seem such a long way off... are you able to play some more tennis? Have you done more cooking?

I'm really glad to hear from you.

Hi caring person,

I have been reading books on cancer and cancer treatments...I imagine the chemo is very hard...

You can offer a lot....sometimes especially when we are having difficulties by sharing, we help others who may be going through the same...

so I have a question...how did you find out you had cancer? I have had pain in my body-unbearable and flu like symptoms for about a year and a half...

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia but not convinced...still wondering about cancer.

had one blood test done, doc said levels were normal. stopped there...what do you suggest?

being very sick is no fun....but you don't have the depression! that is good!

have you found a support group?

sending healing wishes...

Hello Caring Person

I want to stress to you that...you don't need to be super happy or chipper to write here. In fact...if you are feeling low...this is the perfect place to come and just tell us how things are going. There is no need to put on a strong front when...what you are dealing with in incredibly difficult.

February must seem so far away...please keep writing so that we can help support you through these days and months. You don't need to be alone in this. Okay?

Thank you so much for writing here.

Mr P,

I am so glad to see you such good spirits as you tackle the hard days ahead. I see all the encouragement you have received in your actions, in your voice when you are telling your story. Continue your journey with HOPE!! "YOU CAN DO THIS".
