Having Doubts re Chemo

Less than one minute read time.

Now almost 6 weeks since I had surgery for anterior bowel resection after they found a cancerous polyp in my sigmoid colon.  With cancerous cells found in 4 lymph nodes out of the 34 they took out nearest the polyp.  All this started only about 2 months ago can't believe it's happening to me really.  It's all been such a shock for husband and kids, daughter expecting her first baby at the end of March.  Due to go to hosp to have pic line fitted for 6 months chemo on Nov 12th, dreading it, people seem to have so many problems with it, beginning to have doubts about it if I'm honest.  Feel really well after the op and its as if the chemo is going to make me ill again. 

Also cannot seem to contact my 2 friends Sandra and Angela, where are you,  I got your private messages and replied but don't think you got them, am I doing something wrong, would love to talk with you again.

    Hi, hope everyone is feeling well.  I've obviously got a problem with sending private messages and I will contact Admin to see if they can sort it out.

    Angela,  Is your friend Siobhan on this site? It would be good to talk to her as we'll be on the same chemo.

    So strange how we all have chemo differently and for different lengths of time.

    Don't think I'll ever get my head round all of this but trying to stay strong to get through the next 6 month

    Do all of you use the chat line on here, I've never spotted you on it?

    Hi Mary

    Unfortunately Siobhan isn;t on this site, but I'll be seeing her on the 17th and will suggest she joins us.

    I don't tend to use chat as every time I;ve gone on there I feel a bit lost. There seem to be so many conversations going on, or is it just me? I am also on Facebook, so if you are on there please link up with me.
