Things haven't felt right lately, the last week and a half have been a slow decline....I'm scared. I don't like the issues she is having with her throat recently-not sure if I posted about it. She has been having difficulty swallowing, feels like she is being slightly strangled, her voice sounds extremely hoarse, she has a hard time talking to be heard and it causes her pain to speak. Her overall being is just poor.
I'm am so frightened, I can't express myself, don't know what to ask the RO, am afraid I will cry in front of my mom. I am terrified they are going to say the cancer has moved/back...
you all understand. I feel like I am sinking. Need to be strong, taking all of my knowledge learned from all my friends here, praying for a good outcome. Just wish I didn't feel so dark inside.
I can't shake my fears.
