I Hate this all so much it sux ,,I dont wanna whine but I am WAY to young to be going through all of this and I feel like I am doing it alone exceot with the help and love of you guys xoxoxox
They tell me I am a strong women and I used to beilieve it ..but part of me belives I am losing strength and parts of me daily ...I hate going to Drs cus nothing good ever comes....now strokes and infection in the jaw and this other thing which effects the brain ..HELLO I am only 35 with 5 kids to raise,,,And I will hang on for them....but how much can one endure and they don;t make it easy , when I called home to say I had been admitted my oldest was PISSSED as I had ruined her plans didnt even ask if I was ok and when I called hubby he questioned which floor ( meaning Pshychiatric) as we had talked about me needing a break and help figuring things out
and learning how to take it one step at a time and one thing at a time ..I dont get a break here even when I am sick. When I came home from hospital last night ..I slept ..today Joe worked so BOys woke me up at 730am fighting over pizza and my day went on from there, I got up cleaned and took a shower took my meds ( which I take on and off ..,.not good I know ) and laid back down as they make me really tired ,,Of course that became a problem too, so I dunno how I do it ,,but I will get through it somehow
sane I can't promise ..Alive I hope.. This fair is what is keeping me going right now it is important to me and gives me hope ..after this I dunno atleast kids will be back in school and I only deal with joe in the evenings..Maybe I need to go back to work although I dont know how when I am at drs 3-4 days a week.

I read through your recent postings...I have to look up some of the medical terms. Why do they think you had a stroke?
Have you ever had seizures before? And, the Chiari Type 1 malformation...that's one I'll have to look up.
You seem like you have a great attitude and I think it's impressive that you are moving forward with the fair. I'll e-mail you some stuff to see if it can help.
Take good care, Margaret ---------- C/G: Husband, 48 (at time of dx) Dx 5/18/07 SCC, BOT, lymph node involvement. T1N2BM0. (Stage 4a, G2/3) Tx 6/18 - 8/3/07, IMRT x 33 Cisplatin x3 (stopped after 1st dose due to hearing issues). Weekly Erbitux started 6/27/07 completed 8/6/07.
