Thank you for your encouraging response. I bought a journal as you suggested, along with some beautiful colored pens. I did begin to journal my fears and how my days are going. My biggest fears are of the unknown. I worry about the possibility of getting demientia, as my younger brother just passed from early-onset Alzheimer's. He was 66 when he passed less than a month ago. My husband and I go to a "chemo class" tomorrow at my oncologist office. I am hoping this will help with the "unknowns". Thank you once again for encouraging me and for recommending journaling.

@carmenc1955 I’m pleased to know that some of the suggestions I made were helpful to you. I agree that for me the biggest fears are the “what ifs”. The unknown. Isn’t it kinda fun to use those colored pens with your journal?

I can understand your worries about getting dementia as your brother did. With cancer we have a possibility of treatment strategies that are hopeful and encouraging.

Is your chemo class today? I’m very curious what you learned and if you found it helpful. Before I had a total hip replacement surgery I went to a class the day before the surgery. That took care of many of the unknowns and we (there were 8 of us in the class, with 4 of us scheduled for surgery the following day) had the opportunity to ask questions.
