My name is Laura and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. Had surgery in March and will start radiation in a few weeks. Alison, I am so impressed with your heart, honesty, and determination. I pray all is going well with you and that your CT scan had good news.

Thanks! I will check out that website. I've looked at so many and got info overload but I'll check that one out again.

Keep thinking positvely Alison, you've mainted such a good attitude through everything you will get through this next bit too. The waiting is often the most challenging.

Congratulations on completing chemo!!!

Be patient with the whole weight gain/loss issue while you recover from the effects of chemo. For me I found the months following to be more challenging especially with mental function "chemo brain" as is kind of snuck up on me as a result of the cummulative effect of the protocol I was on for my leukemia.

Take care.

Stay strong my friend , I had bowel cancer 4 years ago stage one lower resection ,I had a bag for 6 months than reversed but wishing I had it back, my bowel has its own little brain, its taken 4 years to get where I am tweaking diets changing exercising plans to accommodate my bowel,it does get it challenging but stay strong my friend ,I am
feeling better physically and mentally now than I did 4 years ago
so you keep going my friend, talk to friends that have gone through it
they have the best knowledge how to cope ,that's what really saved me at the end .

Hi Alison! If there's one thing cancer taught me is to take one day at a time. Please keep your spirits up. You've got this. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Kai

sending hugs Alison!
