I'm so sorry you are having to go thru this again.  Once had to be bad enough, but now again.  It is just too much to have to bear.  Try to keep optimistic.  I'm told that will help.

There are some medication that able to boost your red and white blood cells up.  Ask your chemo doctor what can be done to decrease some of side effects.  Hope you feel better

That's terrible. I can't imagine what you must be going through, physically and emotionally. I'm very sorry. :rose: You can power through it, the strength and will of human beings is incredible and you are no exception I'm sure. :) When my aunt was going through treatment she also tried a diet that I think they use in Germany? to help beat cancer and it involved eating a lot of I think cottage cheese and something else. I wish I could remember more about it!!!! Anyway, good luck to you and blessings. :heart:

Life is so precious and some of us slide through it without a scratch. I too am a cancer survivor and now cancer free for almost 5 years. It is was very hard for me going through chemo treatments and then radiation treatments. I thank God everyday that I made it through it all. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I had a lot of side effects that I had to deal with. Yeah, I lost a lot of weight too.

The most important thing you can do is stay positive.  I am here if you need to talk...

Bless your heart!  I watched my mom go thru chemo and it made her so sick.  She always said if she had it to do over again she wouldn't have chemo.

As a cancer survivor I know how difficult it can be to go through Chemo.  Sometimes you feel like throwing up your hands and giving up but then you realize this is all part of the cancer journey and you must fight this battle to stay alive.  There will be bad days and some good days.  Just when you start to feel better it's time for another round of chemo and you think will this ever end..... how much more of this can my body take but you continue to hang in there not only for yourself but also for your family who loves you so dearly.  I know this is a rough time for you Aggie but keep fighting and hang in there. Just know that this treatment will eventually be over and that this treatment is what it took to get you back to a place of peace.  May God continue to bless and keep you.   :angel11:
