Gerri on here is exactly right!! I am a two time cancer survivor, I have been thru it all. surgery, surgery again, chemo, chemo again!! It was a nightmare. I had every side effect imaginable. I too also thought I couldnt take another day. Well here 2 years later cancer free I can look back and be thankful I didnt ever give up. There was a point where I did think I couldnt do this anymore. I called the doctor and told him I wanted to lay off the chemo for a month. It worked. It gave me a nice break, sometimes I took two weeks off. It took longer but my quality of life was so much better. Please hang in there, both of you and if need be call the shots where the doctor is concerned. You know your body better than anyone. By the way I had colon cancer stage2 the first time and stage 4 colon cancer with mets to the stomach. I have had a total of 37 inches of colon removed and half my stomach. To look at me today you would have no idea I had been thru the hell Id been thru. Take care, we will all be praying for you. This sight is a great support group. I have met some very nice people here. Please keep us posted. take care
