Hello everyone, I am off to have my 5th Chemo treatment tomorrow, would you please pray for me that I will have minimal side effects and shrinking tumors. I am very nervous and scared and need prayers. Thank you, Patti

    The first couple of times I
    The first couple of times I was sick and had the neuropothy, but it seems to be getting better. I just go into it so scared, I have two children that need me so much and i just am overwhelmed by all of this, as I am sure we all are. I am just so emotional the day before. Thanks for all of your prayers, I am so humled by the kindness on this board. God Bless, Patti

    Praying right now!
    Patti, my mom is going in for her 2nd chemo treatment tomorrow also (she is stage iv with 3 mets to liver dx June 09). She also was feeling very nervous and scared thinking about going back tomorrow for another treatment, so I think that is very normal. Nonetheless, I am sorry that you are having to go through this! Will pray for very minimal side effects and a quick recovery from this session. Also, praying for overall healing for your body & complete disappearance of this disease!

    I haven't experienced much
    I haven't experienced much of the neuropathy. I am nervous about it, but haven't experienced it. I do get an infusion of mag and something else before the infusion and after which is supposed to help with the neuropathy, maybe it is working. I don't know. With each infusion, you just don't know what the side effects will be. I have heard that the neuropathy does resolve once treatment is done.. If is is real bad you should let your doc know. Are you taking the nausea meds, take them around the clock to see if that will help. I hope you tollerate tomorrow better. I totally understand being scared, I have 2 litle kids aged 4 & 5. It just seems so unfair doesn't it? I know talking like that isn't helpful, but we all have to think it at times, we are only human. Lets just fight this head on and get well for our families.

    Patti -
    I haven't been on

    Patti -

    I haven't been on this website for awhile. I couldn't sleep & thought I'd check in. I will pray that your treatment goes well for you. I was diagnosed 4 years & 10 months ago. I went through 6 months of chemo - with a port and the 48 hour infusion pump, like you. I was 44 at age of diagnosis. While the chemo treatments were a little tougher each time, it was motivating to get one more treatment behind me each time. Just think, after tomorrow, one less treatment to go! Hang in there. Remember - cancer may be tough, but you're tougher!!

    Take care,

    Kathy

    I'm praying for you and hoping for the best always for you, Patti

    I wish I could take away your fear and make it less.

    You just have to tackle it head on with determination. I know it's hard for you as it is for all of us - we're all scared of losing what we've got too. Nobody's immune there.

    You are doing the treatments and moving through them successfully.

    Everyone else has covered it all pretty good, so I'll just say you know I'm pulling for you.

    Chemo
    It's ok to be scared and we have your back. I know the night before chemo it takes me about an hour to get things ready, clothes, gauze, cream, magazines, etc. and I am just an emotional wreck. It's not easy facing going into chemo. I pray that you do well and that you have minimal side effects. Keep your chin up we are there for you.

    Hi Pattie,

    You can do this. You are stronger than you think. My thoughts are with you and wish you well. Like others have said, it is one more closer to the end of your treatment.

    Cheers, Lance

    You are in my heart today as you are now past your treatment and I hope home safe and sound. Cancer IS scary so it's fine to be scared. I'm "cured" and I still get scared. You have a beautiful family who loves you and people around the globe here rooting for you. You can do this!
