Embishop,

I felt the same way you do. So I want to encourage you! You can do this! Yes. It’s hard. And it will take a while until you start to feel better. But here is the good part.....

You will feel better!!!

I still struggle with good days and dark days, almost 8 weeks post rads and chemo. But the good days, minutes and hours greatly outnumber the dark ones.

Some of the posts on this website used to totally freak me out when I first was diagnosed. But as you finish this time in your story, you will be encouraged by some of the posters on this site and over time you will become the one encouraging those that will be going through what you are going through now.

This is a chapter in your story....albeit a pretty crappy chapter. But the future holds brighter chapters.

Hugs and warm thoughts coming your way!

Linda
