@ronc531 May I tell you something, honestly, as one fellow cancer patient to another? Your experience is your experience. Please, please, please do not try to downplay it, saying, "I know I don't have it worse that a lot of other people". Yes, you have a supportive family, and the VA. You also have concerns/fears/tears, just as we all do. And it's okay to recognize that.

I have had to take the time to search for those who will let me be me. I listen to a few support groups based on my type of cancer. I have spoken to the clinical social worker at my cancer center for their words of wisdom and resources. We all get tired. Talk to your medical team and ask if you can modify your treatment plan to give you a bit of a break, even though it might be only a month or two.

Thanks Ginger,

i had a meeting with a therapist last week and didn't realize how much I had been holding back. I brock down 4 times and I am not that type.

It was nice to release some of the stress that had been building up.
