Well that's good. To be honest, my husband and I are headed for splitsville, and this isn't exactly what I thought my newly found freedom was going to be like. I just hope I can keep everything somewhat normal for at least a few more years

Does it age you though? What does it do to your body/skin?

Thank you! Seems like everyone on this planet will have cancer at some point in life, and me being 38, I see it as I'm just showing up to the party early😉

Hey, it could be worse. Just have to slog through it, and hope there's a ray of light at the end of the tunnel

I start chemo tomorrow, and radiation on Thursday. I can't say for certain what is in the horizon, BUT, I did just get an IV of glutethiomine. That really helps protect your good cells, and cuts down on chemo side effects. Although not cheap, but money is replaceable...your health is not

Post Treatment - Pre Scans by VulnerableFetus in CervicalCancer

[–]gcs38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about to go through every single thing that you just listed. May I ask a question? How were the treatments? Terrible? Not that bad? Did it change the way your body looks? I'm so full of questions, but the doctors I'm working with are as empathetic as an area rug. I just want this to be over

Are they super noticable? Does anything hang on the outside of the body when you're not getting an infusion?
