       Hello I just joined and

       Hello I just joined and read your story... chemo is very scary, I was diagnosed in 09 with stage 4... liver mets, took a year of chemo every week, it was very hard and I too went into a deep depression, but I made it through. I know its easier said then done but you have to be positive, have faith , and take one day at a time.  Do not wait around for the storm to be over...learn how to dance in the rain.  We are sisters in this fight  but we will win!

    Hi Susan!

    I just saw your post and your story.  I want to encourage you to take one day at a time, I did the same treatment plan - port placed then 4rounds AC, then 12 rounds taxol.  I just finished my last taxol 2 weeks ago today and I am scheduled for a double mastectomy with no reconstruction 2 weeks from today. 

    Through the journey I found taking one treatment at a time was easiest.  If you look ahead its overwhelming at points, but honestly once in the taxol treatments it flew by.  The treatment itself was scary just not knowing what to expect but I prayed a LOT and I got peace through it all that it would be ok.  A friend of mine I found through cancer had the same treatment and she just flew through the whole thing without being very sick at all.  There's just such a broad spectrum depending on the person.  You sound very strong and determined though so I am sure you will do great!

    I am praying for you today that you can find that peace and strength.  If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask!

    Jessie

    Wondering how you're doing

    Wondering how you're doing with your chemo treatments.  Praying and hoping for you and wish you'd post an update for us.
