Diagnosed With Secondary Liver Cancer - Can Anyone Tell Me How They Mustered The Strength And Courage To Deal With This?Views: 938

I am NOT dealing well at all! I am experiencing emotions and thoughts I’ve never had before. I’ve always been strong. Not now – I am dealing with fear and worry and find myself bottling up feelings and then exploding and pushing away the man that I love. I cannot seem to find strength to be the positive “nothing can get me” person I have always been. I try not to put extra burden of my fears on him, and it comes out wrong and pushes him away – and hurts him.

HI-
Im not sure what to say I WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH SECONDARY BREAST CANCER. I HAD HODGKINS WHEN I WAS 20. WENT THROUGH THE CHEMO AND REDIATION. HONESTLY I AM SCARED TO DEATH. THEY SAY I CANT HAVE RADIATION AGAIN. APPARENTLY THATS WHY IM HAVING THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. THERE HASNT BEEN MANY POSTINGS ON THIS MATTER ONLY THAT IS WAS APPARENTLY EXPECTED WITH THIS TYPE OF CANCER TREATMENT. IT REALLY SUCKS. I WAS EVEN CONSIDERING ALTURNATIVE TREATMENTS
IM SO SAD IM FEEL AS IF IM DYING THIS TIME.
YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO KNOW THERE IS A HIGHER POWER. AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS THE WAY ITS SUPPOSE TO. SOMETIMES I WONDER ABOUT THAT STATMENT. BUT YOU AND I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS ONCE AGAIN.
GOD BLESS YOU!

I had secondary liver cancer .. I had a resection surgery on my liver, radiation and am now on oral chemo..hang in there…..just try and give it your all! Dont give in to this cancer! Thats what I say to myself everyday! .No, no no get out of here!’

Sue if you read this – I would love to talk more about the oral chemo – I just started it and it seems t9o be pretty harsh – what are you going through with the oral!?
