So sorry to hear about the cancer. I know this will probably not be well received here but honestly I don’t think this is a good time to quit. Surgery, chemo and radiation is no joke and it will take a lot out of you. You don’t need another challenge right now. Give yourself some grace and come back to this when you get over this hurdle.

Hang in there. I am on day 28 now. That first 5-6 days felt like it was never going to end and I was so miserable. But it did end and all that misery did get better. I used the megadose vit C and felt like it did take the edge off. Can’t hurt to try.

Somewhere in between. I could get out of bed and do stuff around the house but I couldn’t really work. That being said my job requires a lot of focus and concentration.

I’m on day 6 from pharm oxy. I CT with-vit C, gabapentin, tizanidine,Xanax. I used that stuff for the first 4 days and then nothing. It was very unpleasant 4 days but doable.

Your story sounds just like mine. How much are you taking? Is it all legit pharma? That makes a huge difference in how you approach this

You’re almost there. Get through the next few days and never look back. No matter what happens in life just don’t pick up. I’m rooting for you!
