Oh yes, I need a hug daily, but I live alone. I have a boyfriend but I know he is struggling. He wont talk about it. My first battle was 4 years ago, then on a pet scan jan 2024 it metastasized to one lymph node area btwn lungs. Several mos of keytruda, now chemo. Carboplatin/taxol 6 cycles 1xwk, 3ks then rest week. A cycle is usu 4 wks. The side effects are brutal. Digestion issues, pain, some hair loss Temporary they say. Good new last scan after cycle #3 clear but doc wants to do all 6 cycles. Havent asked prognosis yet, too scared. Like some I'm jealous of people without cancer. Hate to admit that. Yet I do have a new perspective appreciation for life. I'm sad cuz I'm alone. I'm sure my bf will leave me. I have family but they have their own lives. This is my first time in a support group chat. I try to look at the bright side. I'm home and not hospitilized. one day at a time. I pray daily thanking God for each new day. Thank you for your input...I agree people need to realize we need emotional support and love more than supplements or rest ven, I think. Hang in there all of us...no one lives a life unscathed. Our cross is just a bit heavier. Love ourselves. Nurture each other....❤
