Missy,

Hey. Being on chemo is nothing new for me. I've been on it for a couple of

months now. Why are you taking chemo? What's the name of the drug that

they will be administrating to you? I'm taking Cytoxan to suppress my

immune system to keep it from attacking my kidneys. You don't have to be

scared. I'm sure that someone has already answered your questions but find

out all of the information that you can about the chemo drug that you'll be

taking. I know that taking chemo scares you because you only know of people

who have cancer that take it.

It is pretty scary at first because this is something new for you. I tell

you I'm walking into that cancer center like a pro and most of the staff

know me by name. Mainly because I was crying hysterically when I got there

the first time. Ha. There are other members on this list that were

administered chemo also. They will give you their stories if they haven't

already. Depending on the drug that you're taking the side effects aren't

so bad. That also depends on each individual. If there are any questions I

can answer for you ... please let me know. I know what you're going through

.... truly.

My next treatment is coming up Monday. I'm going through my crying spell

because I'm tired of being sick but this is all a part of the course. Just

realize that you're taking this high powered medicine so that you can get

better. It's to keep you from getting any sicker. This support list has

really helped me while I've been going through this hard time. Always be

sure that you come here to vent because these ladies and gentlemen

understand exactly what you're going through. I'm trying to answer the

posts but I've been deleting a lot because I've been busy. I just skim

through and answer the ones that are directed for me. Hopefully in another

couple of weeks I won't be so busy. Anyways, keep your head up and realize

that you will be okay. Okay? Try to take it easy.
