@miriam57 I’m so sorry you’re having to go through treatments again. It’s always disconcerting when our cancer foe makes a return visit. Stay optimistic that these latest rounds of chemo will take out the cells once and for all. Do you have lingering nerve and muscle pain after your Taxol or is it only during the infusions? Is icing done to preempt the issue? I’m not familiar with Taxol but after reading about it just now, it sounds like you’re receiving the very best option for your endometrial cancer. So stay the course and trust your team!
What I learned on my cancer journey, is to take each day as it comes. Sounds so trite but it’s true. Giving up hope was never an option and remaining positive was foremost in my mind. Worrying about what was coming next did nothing but waste my strength and energy because whatever I imagined, never happened. It’s the stories we tell ourselves that create unnecessary stress.
Stay strong, stay positive! You’ve got this! Lori
