I have Cancer...
Thursday, December 8, 2005 by jarget | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Some of you might know me via this website and some might not. I don't mean to bring everybody down but I need to vent. I was diagnosed with cancer in the rectum and liver back in May of this year. I finished my Chemo Therapy 3 weeks ago. All the tumors have shrunk to some degree. I'll tell you if any of you have gone through chemo, it's a son of a bitch. I felt extremely tired all the time , I had a bad taste in my mouth that prevented me from tasting food correctly. It was so bad towards the end that for the last month I could only eat Cambells chicken noodle soup and green beans three times a day because that was all I can taste. I was constantly fainting that resulted in bumps and bruises from hitting the floor. I went from weighing 286 lbs to 206 lbs. I feel so sorry for the little kids that have to deal with this.(I see alot of this in the local news)When you're dealt with something like this it changes your life. I've been thinking about what I want to change and improve my life for the better if I get out of this cancer free. I've tried to stay positve, but damn it's real hard to. The scary thing is my Mom died of cancer last year.
The bad news is that my Cancer Doctor told me today that the cancer might have spread to my bones. I go for a bone scan next week to find out for sure.
I don't know where I'll be in a month, year, but I just want to say I've enjoyed reading the forums although I didn't reply alot. Alot of posts made me laugh. Alot funny people out there in Wincustomize Land.
With that said Thanks in advance for reading this and letting me vent my frustrations and pain.
God Bless

Keep up the positive mental attitude [P.M.A.], Jarget. Stick to a healthy diet [even when you don't taste it much, you're still getting the nutrients]. Focus on the good things in life, and as others have said ~live life to the best of your ability, and live it well.
I'll also keep you in my thoughts mate.

Jaget, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
...try to eat as healthy as you can...vent often...keeping it bottled up only adds to the stress which loweres your ammune system even further.
My brother in law - hodgskins - has been in remission 25 years and counting....My mom...skin cancer...and clear for 30 years.....my eldest daughter...skin cancer at 14, and a big scare five years ago...they were talking double masectomy(she was 27 at the time).Six months of painful testing and constant x-rays... and things turned around...the cells stopped changing. We count our blessings every day.

Jarget, you will be in my thoughts. I also people in my life with varying types and degrees of cancer, including rectal and colon, breast and bone. I hear daily how hard it gets when Chemo is used. There just isn't an easy way. Hang in there, anything can happen if you have faith.

I sympathize with you regarding your Mum. My Mom died last year of pancreatic cancer. I miss her so much.
