Hi Folks,
Im 48 years old and in May I was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer.
Its been a weird, tough journey so far.
Im on cycle 4 of 6 of the chemo... ups and downs with side effects. Some very bad days, some good days.
My wife is an incredible support, I honestly dont know what I would do without her. My kids are 16 and 13.
The hardest part about all of this is knowing that at some point, much sooner than I ever would have thought, I will be leaving them.
Ive never really been an overly emotional person.... though these days it's rare for a day to pass without crying. Sometimes for no reason at all (I blame the chemo :) ).
Im not depressed, I just wildly fluctuate between upbeat and positive and... well.. crying.
The fatigue is hard too... sooooo tired, far too much of the time.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and I hope anyone reading this is doing as well as they possibly can be in the situation.
No problems Bernie, it happens all the time on our threads, sumtimes it gets very confusing.
