![]() Since then, I've been at a rehabilitation center. And I have to take them without fail every day, to keep the cancer at bay. ![]() ![]() ![]() They give me constant diarrhea and fatigue, and make me feel like throwing up for an hour or more after I take them. They are a classic example of the cure being almost as bad as the illness itself. It was no longer operable, although the doctors were optimistic that it could still be brought to bay with the chemotherapy pills.Īh, those chemotherapy pills. They did find out that my cancer (gastrointestinal stromal tumors, aka GIST) was back, this time worse than ever. I don't really remember the first few days, except that I had a dim idee in my head that I might not make it this time. I woke up around 5 in the morning and tottered over to wake my husband, to ask him to call an ambulance. I tried to convince myself that I could just coddle myself back to a reasonably healthy state. But as I am wont to do - and I don't recommend doing this to anyone - I was trying to tough it out. I wasn't sure why, but my body just seemed to be breaking down. ![]() In February, I was feeling really terrible. Well, I'm still here, but it has been a very rough ride. Remember me? If you only know me from my sites, you might have wondered where I have been, or even how I've been doing. ![]()
