Thank you. I have to tell my son and his wife today. I’m almost a scared about that as I am about the cancer and what is to come. I will be seeing my surgeon on the second of January after my CT scan, then the radiologist on the seventh , followed by the Oncologist on the eighth. Welcome 2025. Should have known something was up when the first letters of the days of the year were WTF 😬. Sorry got to laugh or I will cry and you never let them see you cry.

How old are your children? I honestly never told mine I had the “C” word. My children are 10 and 14 years of age. They knew I was sick and saw me go through the treatment. I tried to stay strong for them. Once you have a plan and tell the people closest to you it will get a bit easier to deal with. Start shopping for moomoo pajamas, aquafer, isolation fan, multiple bidets to leave in all your bathrooms, cooling men’s boxer style underwear for when you leave the house to go to treatment. I found the women’s panties to be to tight around my sensitive area. Let the air hit you as much as possible in your sensitive area for radiation. Also puchase some loose pants with no buttons or zippers. Its much easier when you go to treatment.
