I like that..." Officially my worst time in life". I'm half thru' my chemo treatment of 5 months, bald and depressed. Put all the strong words behind it and it still boils down to a bum deal. I had events to host, grandkids to play with, a life.... that is all behind me without me participating.
I know... be thankful, it could be worse. Really? Actually, it really could be worse and I best not tempt whoever decides who gets cancer and who doesn't. Staying strong doesn't seem like a choice... I just show up when I'm supposed to.
I wish benzodiazepines and so many antidepressants didn't seem to negatively affect overall survival.... or I'd be on something. As it is, I don't drink, smoke, or eat bad food... and I forgot how to laugh. Not good...

Upon learning of my diagnosis, a gentleman on a committee with me, took me aside and gave me some advice. It was to find something to laugh hard at every day. I settled on facebook clips of Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett and Tim Conway and a British man named Michael ? who interviews kids. Sometimes I laugh outloud so hard all by myself. It gives me those few minutes of fun. The clips of animals and babies are laughable too. Check it out.

I’m sorry you are having such a hard time. It is tough for even the strongest among us. You are half way through to the other side. I’m sure the people you love and love you are rooting for you. I have had friends go through this and though my cancer treatment doesn’t include chemo, I have seen its challenges and despair. In the end you will come out of it and look at it in the rear view mirror. Sending hugs.
