Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well it will be a while before I go see the surgeon. I have been really sick. Not the fibro, but coughing, fever, achy, and generally feeling like sh**. My husband says if I am not better in a few days he is carting my butt to the doctor. He and my son have been exposed to meningitis and he is worried about that and my exposure to them. The hospital did premeds but he said with my immune system who knows. I keep feeling like I am burning up. I did reschedule for the end of the month. Dennis isn't crazy about me waiting so long but I also want him to go with me. I told him even if the cancer is back I don't know if I will do anything this time anyway. Chemo sucks and I don't know if it is worth the hassle. We are in for a scary night with the storms coming in and we live in an area prone to tornados because of the water around us. He will probably get called out if things get bad. I hate that but someone has to man the rescue stations. I can just remember when I would do the same thing. Now I sit home scared wishing he was with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I am sorry you are going through this!! Let me just say this, you really need to take the chemo IF the cancer is back. You say you don't know if it's worth it or not, well, just look at your husband and your kids...that's all the motovation you should need. If it is cancer, you can't just sit back and let it consume you. YOU are a fighter!!!!! You love your husband and kids don't put them through the heartache of you doing nothing, YOU have to FIGHT!!!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I can understand you putting off the appt. until your husband can go with you. That's too long of a drive to take by yourself. I'm praying that your cancer has not returned. How many times have you had chemo in the past? I can understand your not wanting to go through it again. It is so difficult to weigh quality of life vs. quantity or life. Take care. I hope your immediate symptoms go away and you start to feel better.
