Not 'my' cancer!

Less than one minute read time.

Chemo will start on Monday. All the checks are done and I will have a portacath in three weeks, too.

I've been reading through some posts and there's a thing I noticed: people keep calling it 'my cancer' or 'your cancer'. Well, the cancer that was removed from my body wasn't 'mine'. It has/had no right to be within my body and I will not take ownership of any cancer. As far as I am concerned, it's the devil's and he can blooming well keep it!

Am feeling very positive and am hoping very much that the chemo will be bearable...

    Hi there

    you are right - it is evil and has no rights so you keep that attitude!

    Just wanted to say I have a portacath and its marvellous - Ive had 4 chemo and am due 5th on thursday. will be glad when its done as i am weary of being weary.

    chemo is bearable, each person it seems takes it their own way.  i am unable to go into work but a chemo buddy Helen has worked somewhat, travelling long distances by train and giving presentations.  i am in awe but not jealous as i know i couldnt summon the energy.

    wishing you all the best, keep us updated x
