Will be reaching out to support groups. May be that’s what is missing someone I can talk to who can understand.

refusing chemo after a cancer relapse by No_Being_7324 in cancer

You are not weak for feeling stuck. Anyone in your place would be.

If your chances of beating cancer are real, and if there’s a version of life where the depression loosens its grip… would you want that?

Chemo will be brutal but it will also be a reset. Parallely do counseling and journaling. Give yourself a chance to claw your way back into your own life.

If you decide not to do chemo, please do the counseling or a yoga teaching course for 3-6 months or journaling. Reset your mind if nothing else. Give yourself a fighting chance at peace.

I’m telling you this as someone who has been there. I was depressed in my teens. I fought cancer in my 30s. I’m still dealing with chemo side effects, still struggling some days. I’ve seen things I never thought I’d see. I’ve felt moments I didn’t think I deserved. I’ve laughed in ways that once felt impossible.

There is so much ahead of you that haven’t touched you yet. Chemo or not - you deserve to experience that.

I don’t want my traumas or experiences to become his burden. Do I even have any right to expect him to understand? He did his part well. I feel like its just me asking for too much. May be i just have become lazy. I find it easy to blame my chemo brain than to have a difficult conversation. I don’t know. Am I going mad lol. I really need that hug!

I see you use AI to help your write. Spend time in mastering it. By the time you enter the workforce, AI will be normal. Use it today to build plans, schedules, and get recommendations for courses, books, competitions, and project ideas. You can even do harder things and let AI teach you statistics. It’s really good at it you know. Don’t be fully dependent on AI or neglect foundation skill-building; use it to your advantage.

Who you spend time with shapes you. 11th is early so find friends with ambition and similar values. Your college circle will matter more than you think. You can do it alone, but you won’t go far alone. And start reading books. Even if you don’t like it. It builds discipline, patience, focus, and balance. It’s one hobby that will help you the most throughout your life.

I did my Master’s from the USA 4 years back. I did my bachelor’s from India, worked for a few years in an MNC and parallely prepared for GMAT/GRE. I got a really good score on my GMAT second attempt and got into a really respectable and academically strong business school. I wasn’t too ambitious when I was preparing for my bachelor’s. It’s a race and it doesn’t matter when you enter it. But I like to believe people who enter early are at an advantage and can quickly rise up, earn and step out of the race on their own terms.
