Hi Teresa,
I do not have cancer, although I have had every test imaginable to rule it out. ButnI do have a rare kidney disease that is treated with chemo. I am on my third different treatment because the first two did not work. And i agree with your description of this being an emotional roller coaster ride. It may not be the best way to manage this but I am still working full time. I love my work. I feel useful and productive. I have been terrible about keeping up with my meditation practice, but that is so helpful, too. I had hoped to find a support group for people going through chemo but no luck. So I was happy to see your post.
Susan

I am so glad that you found this post, @sue1952. I am sorry to hear that you have not found a treatment for your kidney disease. Please join in this discussion, or others on Connect. You sound like a person who is living a full life in spite of a serious illness, I applaud you for that.

What motivates you to keep up this lifestyle and attitude in spite of a serious illness?
