don't worry
Don't worry, we all get down or did as we went through the chemo battle. I tried visualization before and with each treatment, like pac man of old just pictured those drugs eating up the cancer cells. I also went to my faith community and asked for prayer support and that helped a lot. I felt wrapped in prayers at each visit.0 -

I have found that I am in a "blue funk" when I feel the worst and cannot do something to get my mind off of cancer. As my treatment continues and draws to a close, I find that my "funk" is controlled by matured/ metamorphosed emotions and fears. Just as I learn to deal with my crazy brain one treatment, I am met by something altogether different the next. I feel like I have to start at ground zero every time. That is exhausting. I wish I could turn my brain off for a few days.
I have also become "hugy" with people. It is my fear of leaving this earth.
I definitely see a pattern to my emotional roller coaster. Sounds like you do, too.
This is the longest disease that I have ever had to fight. The thought of fighting for a year is unfathomable.
Hope you feel better. My thoughts are with you on Sundays. May Spring bring about some relief for you.0 -

Me too. My treatments are every three weeks and even though I start feeling physically better about five days before the next treatment, I start feeling down as the day gets closer. The anticipation of going downhill again and never knowing what new and annoying side effect will happen always gets to me. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised with less problems. ann0 -

I just started the chemo
I just started the chemo journey on Thursday. I go every two weeks for four months. Yours seems like such a longer journey. Although I have had minimal side effects so far, I am already not looking forward to the next one. Good luck on your next treatment.0 -

Thank you all for your support, and advice. I will try to make Mondays better to deal with.0
