As some may know, my son was 4 months old when I was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. Well, he just turned three last week. He has been so inspiring to me through my treatment and symptoms. I believe he was brought here to help me through this difficult time.
My husband is supportive, although he may not always understand when I say feel fatigued and just don't feel like doing anything , have a craving for certain food (not necessarily what he cooked for dinner), and I need him to help me keep my stress level down. He does offer some remedies of his own, which I take into consideration.
My family and friends have been so great through out my fight with their love and support. I could not have picked a greater group of people. God surely knows who to put in your life and when.
In addition, I am still able to work full time while undergoing treatment. Although, I do get tired more easily these days, I am able to make it through the day. I continue to work as long as possible. My boss has been great, suggesting a number of options to help with making it possible to keep working, and keep as much vacation time and sick leave as possible.
I will continue to try to make my life more than my diagnosis of cancer.
