I Am Third Update

I haven't been on in awhile. I have to admit I fell into a depression of sorts. My cancer remains. It is still contained to head and neck area and has not spread outside of that area, but in danger of spreading to my brain so they are giving me most agressive chemo.

Things have been rough emotionally, physically, financially. I have been physically alone in this fight with occasional help from friends, co-workers or people from church. My church ministry is a blessing and has been bringing my children meals on a regular basis while I am in treatment.

My separated AH has been helping logistically and financially but he is still not in recovery, so I still get the verbal attack every once in awhile.

I am just trying to take things day by day and focus on what is on my plate each day. If I do anymore than that, I drive myself nutty....

I'm sorry you are still battling the cancer. It sounds like you have good doctors, and your church sounds like a blessing.

My prayers are with you.

Iamthird, I am so glad to hear from you. Thanks for posting--I have been wondering how you are doing.

Sounds like you are holding your own. My husband's son-in-law had a cancer similar to yours---esophageal. He had a long stint of treatment. He is now well over 5 years of remission.

Keep posting and letting us know how it is going.

Have a nice day, Iamthird.

Been thinking about you, glad to hear from you. When you feel sad and lonely, remember, lots of us here have you in our thoughts and prayers, you're never quite as alone as you may feel

Iamthird! I'm glad to hear from you. Hadn't seen you and wondered how you were.

I hear you about depression-- It's hard to get in touch with people when you need to do it. It's a good thing you got yourself back in contact here.

All of your church, work and friend connections are wonderful, I'm glad to hear you've got a support network. So important.

Prayers!

I too battle tumors in head, neck, breast & that's when my AH started the divorce & left & left me with no health insurance. I have found some great resources. Send me a message & I'll share with you.
