I too am struggling with how to go on with life now that chemo sessions have ended. My case is somewhat complicated by the fact that I have two surgeries to endure yet that are necessary because of the treatment and I now have ulcerative colitis which I am told may be due to the chemo also and will be with me for the rest of my life. So, I have some bitterness I suppose, and maybe doubting whether I made the correct choice to "save" my life with chemo if this is what I will have to live with now. Plus, of course, we know that in a couple of years, cancer is likely to recur and the next time we will not be so likely to come through it alive even if we go through the chemo again. I've lost my mom (in 2000) to pancreatic cancer and my younger sis in 2002 to breast cancer so I realize what I've seen may not give me the best "viewpoint", but, it is my point of reference. I was terminated from my job after I was diagnosed (I worked in the office of the cancer center of the clinic where I also got my treatment). I am 55 and don't know, even once the surgeries are behind me if I will be able to get work again. I can not afford to keep paying COBRA rates for my health insurance on what I earn on disability from my employer, and, I'm sure it is about to end. Where are the caring people who can help us through this kind of thing once we are supposedly "cured". I sort of feel like they don't prepare you for what you have ahead of you when they give you the diagnosis and then once your scans look good, they turn you back out to the world when you are maybe not well yet and NOT ready for the world. The fatigue, maybe the low blood counts, these new illnesses that are resultant of the therapy are still with us, but, how do we go on? Where do we get the strength to keep trying, especially if you are alone and have been put in the low-income group through no fault of your own? Anyone else identify or have any suggestions on how you got through this stage?
