Had our first appointment with oncologist today. Thank god he is super nice! Our family needed someone who was cheerful and seemed to actually care. Mom starts chemo next week. Hopefully she qualifies for a clinical trial medication too. I know this will be rough on her and all of us, but she is very loved and we are going to take great care of her. I was looking online and found this article about one cancer survivor, Greg, who was going through chemotherapy that gave me hope:
Greg - 6 Lessons I learned from my cancer
Lesson #1: Many more people genuinely care about you than you can possibly know - and they are ready to do everything in their power to help you through your treatment.
Lesson #2: God is NOT mean - sometimes bad things happen to good people.
Lesson #3: All big words have simple explanations - you just have to keep asking until you get it.
Lesson #4: Not all doctors are very good; but some doctors are outstanding; and personally dedicated to making you get well again. The same can be said for Nurses, Radiation Techs, and Receptionists. Take the time to find the really good ones.
Lesson #5: It's OK to have a bad day. You're sick; you don't have to happy about it.
Lesson #6: You're a LOT tougher than you think you are - you CAN DO this
