Hi, Camelia -- Last November when I learned my cancer had spread, I was shocked.
I wondered if I'd begin to be much sicker real soon, but I wasn't. In fact, with
treatment (chemotherapy and a second turbt) and good self-care, I was fortunate enough to feel better for the past five months than anytime since my initial diagnosis 14 months ago. I've posted a lot (and I'm on the storyboard), so details
of my journey thus far are available. In a nutshell, I've been continuing to work at my profession (college teaching full time) and have good quality time with family
and a few close friends. Just over the past two weeks, I've not felt quite so well(a cough and side ache)and I've slowed down and become more concerned again. But that doesn't change the fact that I've had five very good months.
I'll be thinking of you and your family and hoping for the best outcomes from
your mom's treatment -- in support -- Susan
