Well you have come to the right place. There are people here who have been through so many different experiences and have so much knowledge that what ever it is you are facing you will not have to do it alone. Your fear is so normal and understandable- we have all been there at some time.
Let us know a bit more about your situation and I'm sure there will be others who have been there before and can offer advise. If now there are many here who can offer support and knowledge.
Do let us know a bit more,
Steve

Hi Kapaul. Don't blame yourself for being scared; redirect the energy to cutting the ugly head off of that monster. Fear can be a great motivater. You beat this thing once before; the fight's still in you. Kick butt. Let us know how things go. The people here are great supporters. Take care.

Hi Kapaul,

Sorry to meet like this, as they say, but we're definitely here for you. This is a site full of empathetic, courageous, well-informed and generous fighters. Many have inspiring stories to tell. I couldn't quite follow your last posting, about what happened in your first round as opposed to what's going on now, both in terms of the cancer and its treatment. Anyway, we're ready to go on this journey with you.
