@mommacandy ,
I just saw your post. I realize you didn’t want to hear it, but you sound really good. How long will you have chemo? I do hope you can avoid the mouth sores.
Will you be taking time off work? Will someone be able to help care for you?
When they made the comment about losing hair in 2 weeks…were they saying that about starting chemo or that your illness would cause hair loss?
The genetic info is incredible. It had me wondering if I should get it, though I already know that my dad’s side has huge autoimmune issues. I don’t recall any cancers but one and that was my great grandfather who died in late 80s.
I hope you can be feeling better soon. Do you know what to expect with the chemo?

well i don't work unless you count taking care of my friend who has pancreatic cancer that i've been running back and forth to UVA since Aug 😀 he's finished with chemo til he meets with surgeon on the 14th and we'll see what happens then....and running the clothing ministry we have...and being a wife...and well you get the idea lol...hopefully i can pull in enough help to be able to manage it all...its just going to be a wait and see kinda thing...
My husband is already trying to do what he can to make it easier on me...and my kids will do what they can (adult young'uns) so i think i'm ok there.. just not so sure about the mental support... but anyways...
they've kinda told me what to expect and the hair loss is from the chemo.. she told me it would be gone within the first two weeks max...so been trying to plan accordingly... apparently they're prob going to be going at this with as much dose as possible from what i understand as long as i can take that since its so widespread over my abdomen... which is why they were warning me about the possibility of the mouth sores etc. other than tiredness, that and of course the nausea etc not sure what to expect, they've ordered dexa something or nother to be taken for 4 days after the chemo treatments along with the compazine and zofran i'm currently taking...and the pain meds...its starting to feel like i'm going to be a walking pharmacy...
