Feuer Frei! It pains me to no end to have to hear this. I wish there was some magic pill which take it all away but there isn't one, yet. But modern medicine believe it or not is getting close to those things.

My wife had a very rare form of stage 2a uterine cancer, a type that IF a women gets it normally happens around the age of 80, she was 39 then. It was an aggressive cancer with a piss poor survival rate. She passed the five year mark two years ago.

From watching her deal with it. My advice would be to get on with life, don't let this upset your routine. As an example, my wife is a swimmer, loves it, in her younger days she set the Dolphin Club record in the Alcatraz swim she also used to do the Lanai to Maui swim. Anyways, the nurses would get on her about swimming because as they said there are germs in the showers and pool therefore a greater potential for infection. She told them to pack sand, she never stopped doing what loved to to do. The Dr at the time a wonderful man who took care of her very well told her to just keep on doing what you're doing and don't let others stand in the way. He now recommends swimming to all his cancer patients.

During chemo you lose your appetitie YOU MUST EAT whether you want to or not. It's been found so many people fail during this time not because of the cancer but from malnutrition. Trash the candies, donuts and sweets these will not help and only feed the cancer.

EAT HEALTHY!

Stop researching how bad this is and start researching things on how to combat this on your own like vitamin C, foods, exercise, attitude, and yes even prayer to YHWH.

Didn't Lance Armstrong have a form of testicular cancer? It can be beat don't withdraw, don't give up. Approach this with your fangs out and hair on fire!

Finding a support group may help too, encourage one another, you will find it is much easier to speak with people who have gone through or going to go through the same thing you are. Others (though they mean well) you will find out shortly cannot truly understand what you are going through.


REMEMBER **** FANGS OUT! **** HAIR ON FIRE!
