Thinking positively is a very good thing to do, I believe it helps your immune system. Even the bravest of us needs time to feel a bit sorry for what has happened, it's not what we planned for ourselves. Know that you are in my thoughts & prayers....:)Sandisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338372043887342227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473446302785903724.post-72897765266382364152012-06-02T20:04:08.083-05:002012-06-02T20:04:08.083-05:00I THINK YOU ARE ONE OF THE BRAVEST LADIES I KNOW.....I THINK YOU ARE ONE OF THE BRAVEST LADIES I KNOW...AND EVEN BRAVE PEOPLE HAVE TO CRY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.Carlene Nogglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142717001293178461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473446302785903724.post-390026797228897792012-06-02T19:52:35.927-05:002012-06-02T19:52:35.927-05:00Bless your heart!!

Not her first battle either. She had breast cancer in 1986 and then again in 2006. You can do this!

You're handling this great - both by remaining positive and by giving yourself permission now & then to just be emotional and let go. You pick yourself back up and keep on keepin' on. You really rock, girlfriend! {hugs}Dreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473446302785903724.post-12855930558821912012-06-02T12:04:20.773-05:002012-06-02T12:04:20.773-05:00Cry away!

Right over the port and then cover it with a little plastic wrap and a couple bandaids to hold it then you won't feel the stick so much. <br />Also ask the oncologist for the Emend if you haven't yet. Stuff works great for nausea. Hang in there! I'll be praying for you.Adirondackcountrygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647770774053345725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473446302785903724.post-49632575513165932702012-06-02T11:56:27.431-05:002012-06-02T11:56:27.431-05:00I would think it was strange if you didn't bre...I would think it was strange if you didn't break down at times. Holding emotions in isn't healthy! Getting a routine and plan is one of the (many) hard things about cancer. You are swept along without any control. What kind of chemo are you on? Make sure to research it a bit; the docs don't always know about the side effects. I had to tell my husband's oncologist that his newish third line chemo(Abraxane--which is also used for breast cancer) can cause chest pain. Which he was having. Hope that life settles down and that dealing with the big C becomes more manageable. xoxoMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473446302785903724.post-49661031763867292022012-06-02T09:22:26.358-05:002012-06-02T09:22:26.358-05:00Everyone is entitled a crybaby day once in awhile,...Everyone is entitled a crybaby day once in awhile, and I'm sure that yours was entirely deserved. I hope it at least helped ease some of your frustrations with how this whole thing has gone down.<br /><br />BUT! You are right. Cry, get over it, and go on with your life. Also know that there are a great many people who have your back, and don't hesitate to reach out when you need it. Honestly, I won't tell you to suck it up if you need to vent. (I may make fun of you to make you laugh, but...)<br /><br />One foot in front of the other. We love you and we'll do whatever we can to help you get through this. /sap<br /><br />Love,<br />ShellShellnoreply@blogger.com
