Hi Chery Thank You. I am just beginning radiation on the 3rd of September. I had a real struggle with treatment options. I had the surgery 07/03 and still have some side effects from that but not real severe. I was ready to give up before I even began!
I am a manic depressant on medication but even with that the whole aspect of this is so scary and most of the outcomes are not very good. You have to wonder if going through all these treatments and surgery's are really worth it...I'm sorry, I am venting. No one seems to understand but the patients and survivors of this horrible cancer. The radiation oncologist told me I had to have the radiation or the cancer would be back in a year or two. After reading some of the posts, it looks like most cancer returns even with radiation within a year or two. Tell me more of side effects that you have had to go through.
