Don't you just get so sick of the entire thing. But what's the alternate? Give up. NO WAY. We'll all get there guys.
Yep I'm sick of it all and I hate cancer with a passion for all it's taken from us. But my boy is here with me everyday and when I have days where I am so over it I just have to think of him and how happy I am that he's still here with me.
Take care and keep fighting no matter how hard it gets some days. I have people say to me "I don't know how you two keep going". What choice do we have? We have to.
