You are a brave young women. I am not experiencing the same cancer, however to beat my cancer or any cancer you must remain mentally sound and continue with a positive mind. To beat any cancer is 60% mental attitude. I spent two years battling rectal cancer. I had 6 surgeries, experience 70+ chemo treatment, over 40 radiation treatments and a while for recovery. I am just starting to feel like myself again. Look it isn't easy, but find something. Start a journal immediately and write in it each night. Get it out on paper. Do reflections each day.
I would really like to recommend that you continue to listen to positive tapes, read positive books, be around positive people (your friends) and possibly any close relatives that can help you through this. What made me stay the course was my strong faith foundation. I turned it over to him, prayed a lot, read the bible, and did a lot of volunteer work to help others. Anything to get my mind on something else. During this process I tried my best to keep active with exercise. Just get out and walk if you are able. Anything to try to keep your body going.
My advice, you need to take each day and build from there. Don't look behind and don't look ahead. Make each day the best day you can. Read a lot about your type
of cancer. Get educated and search high and low about your types of treatments.
You can beat it. There are incredible treatments out there. If you don't like your doctor find another and another and another until you find that right one.
I had 5 incredible doctors. My oncologist and hematologist were awesome!
I met some incredible people through this journey. Have faith and you will get through this!
Keep in touch if you need to.
