Coping with cancer...at least I think I am


I think I am finally dealing with the betrayal of my cancer never leaving my body, I gave a breast, I gave my life's blood and I went through 4 months of hell called chemotherapy.....I did it for me, my Jim, my Kids and my Family and friends....I did it because I believed  that I could be one the lucky ones that only had to deal with this once in my lifetime....I found out way toooo soon that this was not to be true.

Here I was barely 3 months out of treatment and all the time the cancer cells were multiplying and multiplying...then after a 6 day stay in the hospital I find out that it has already spread to my lungs, my spine and my brain.....I do not ask "Why Me?" There is no answer to that question....what I am having a hard time understanding is why is it trying so hard to take me from those I love? With cancer there are only two sides to fall on.....the ones that live after their diagnosis and the ones that don't.....I thought I knew which side I was going to land on....I am struggling so hard this time around emotionally......I am a strong woman, I know that...what I am having a hard time doing is going deeper for more of my fighting nature to keep battling with the strength that I did in the beginning....before it was just a breast, now it's every breath I take, it's the broken thought processes that I am now experiencing, it's the fear that every pain I feel I think to myself is that cancer? has it spread to that part of me too?

I have to admit I am weaker this time around but that does NOT mean I am giving up, I am just staying in my head a lil longer than usual....there (in my head) is where I remember who I am and where I came from and all that I have had to endure to get me to where I am today....that is where I find the warrior in me....give me some time and I will find her again....right now I need to just be quiet, just be still and rest. There are quite a number of reasons I am exhausted....cancer itself for one, chemo (again) radiation and every smell makes me want to get sick...nothing sounds good enough for me to eat, so when I do eat I am making healthier choices.....plenty of fresh fruit, raw vegetables, for protein I eat string cheese and to make sure I get enough vitamins and nutrients I am drinking slim fasts.

Today I will complete my first week of radiation.....I hate it because for a few minutes I am strapped to a table by my face and head under a mask, but once that machine kicks on and I hear the noise that the radiation or machine makes I feel like jumping up and screaming die you bastards die......not the tech's....the cancer cells! lol Today is also my first whole day off of chemo....I get a week off and then probably back on again for two weeks. I hope I get some of my strength back this weekend....all I want to do now is sleep on and off all day, so I do.

I want this treatment to work this time.......they say after cancer all you have left is hope.....I don't want hope if it's false hope, I don't want the rest of my life to always be about treatment....I want some of the joy and the happiness that I had before cancer...when I am sick...I am weak, but I still throw those pills down my throat twice a day, I still show up for the radiation, I still make and keep all Doctor appointments and I still want to kick cancers ass. Right now I need time to rest, time for my family...if I don't return a phone call or an email or a two way, it's not that you aren't important to me because you all are, you're my rocks.....it's just that I need time in my safe place....my head and Jim's arms.

This is my journey, this is my life.

Reading this made me cry.  Not because I have given up, or that I feel you have, but because you are so strong, and your spirit and your love shines brightly through each word you write.  Kim, you are never far from my mind... and always in my prayers.  If anyone can beat this... you can!  You just keep believing that!  Look at Lance Armstrong.  He had testicular Cancer that spread his lung and brain, and he survived.  Nothing is impossible, my friend.  
We are all praying for you, Kim....

You are amazing..  You really are...

Love, gentle hugs, and many prayers..

I've been a lurker in your journal for a long time, I may have left a comment a long time ago.. I'm not really sure.
My thoughts and prayers are with you! Your journey really touches home with me. I lost my Mom to renal cell carcinoma in Sept. 06'. She went from great, to dying just like that. She didn't want her life to end.. and she wouldn't accept that she was sick. Even with her not able to do anything for being in so much pain. It was so hard to watch her go through it but  I was there with her thru the very end.  
I read your journal and I cry my eyes out for you. For your kids, and your husband. Cancer is the ugliest thing in this world. And I really hope you beat it!!! You'll be in my thoughts.. but with your family is where you truly need to be...
Best wishes.. ~Melissa

I don't believe in false hope.  Hope is hope.  There doesn't have to be a reason or proof, it is there.  Take it.  Swing it around like a bat if you have to.  Brandish it like armor when all other defenses begin to buckle.  Hope has many faces, you see them every day.  You hear Hope's voice every waking hour.  And when you rest, Hope watches over you, sometimes from afar, through faceless names but Hopeful none the less.  We are watching over you Kim.  Now rest.  We'll swing Hope's bat for a while.
Love you, Jody~

I read your journal entry and I just feel so helpess.  I keep saying to myself that cancer picked the wrong person, I know that, we all know that and I just can not wait for the day that the cancer FINALLY realizes that.  It is so frustrating that this is happening to you.  It is unfair that you have to fight this battle (and I do believe it is a battle and in the end you will win this war) and you have to also be fearful that the treatment might let you down again.  But I don't feel that way, I have faith that the doctors have realized how stubborn your cancer cells are (gee, where do they get that from???) and the doctors seem to be treating this with a real agressive approach (go doctor's!).  I have faith, I KNOW you will get better, I just hate that it has to be such a rough road to recovery.  I am sending all my good thought energy and all my prayers to you.  Get lots of rest!  (lots of hugs) -Kelly

Kim, there is no doubt that you have a wonderful support system at home to help keep you strong, mentally if nothing else, but please know in your heart that we are all praying for you and we are the ones who stand in the gap and hold you up when you yourself have no strength to do so.  My husband is the one battling cancer, I am not; so I can't say that I know what you are going through, but as a caretaker of a loved one with cancer I can say this, you will never be alone.  We are walking through this journey with you and will continue to do whatever it takes to get you well.  My heart breaks for your Jim, who I KNOW is dying a little bit inside because there is nothing he can do to make you feel better, so I will continue to pray for him as well.  Draw strength from any place you can get it.  We are all sending our strength to you.  I don't really know your belief system, but if you have a faith in God, it will give you the hope you so desperately long for.  It is not a false hope, but rather, a PROMISE of better days to come.  You can bank on it!  Trust.  Believe.  You can't go wrong, my friend.  Bless you.  Jamie

That darned chemo really takes the oxygen out of your body...doesn't it?  Fatigue is so debilitating and sleep becomes so welcome.
I don't know if this will be a help Kim but when the chemo zapped all my red blood cells, I found I craved raw salad spinach which is full of iron.  I couldn't get enough of it.  My chemo nurses commented on how quickly my bloods came back so I credited the spinach with that.  I know your stomach is queasy but if you get a little bit of appetite perhaps you could try it? I used to say to myself if I feel so rough how rough does the cancer feel.....a very pleasant thought for those low moments.  Rest when your body tells you. We will all be here praying hard for you.    God Bless you.   Hugs  Jeanie

At one time, I believed that if I were ever dx'd with cancer, I would give up and let it take me.  I feel differently now and I believe it is because of you.  Now I know that my fight would be very important, whether I won or not.  Because any gain in research that is made with MY treatment, may help the next person.  So regardless of the outcome, the fight will be worth it.
Happy Mother's Day,

Heavenly Father, I ask that you embrace this dear one just now. Let her know the honor of Your presence, the tightness and warmth of your embrace. Quiet her mind and fill her heart with YOUR peace, that promised peace of Christ, that holds us steady midst our darkest, most painful moments. Bless those who love her, who help her, who love her so much.  She is such a courageous lady, giving all she has for those she loves, not complaing, just trying hard to cope. Grant her time in her safe place - with those she loves - and who love her so dearly. I ask these things in Your Son's most precious name. Amen.
Stay strong, in HIS strenght. Praying for you every day.

(((Kim)))  You are amazing and strong... even when you feel you are weak.  Cancer cannot weaken your spirit.  My Mom's fight is back on too, (same amount of time) never left her body.   She's not going through treatment this time, never wants to feel the way she did when going through chemo, had many complications.... Going for quality.   I can't understand what you're going through, but I do understand being the family member that stands by helplessly... My heart goes out to not only you, but your Jim and family.   Accepting my Mom's decision has been tough, steady my soul, steady my soul.  I support her no matter what.  There is no easy way out, no matter one's decision.  Your entry about you being alright, no matter what, it's a win-win for you... plays in my mind.

Many prayers being said....  You can beat this thing into remission Kim.  Never lose that hope, believe.  I do.

Hey Honey, Take if from someone who knows exactly where you're at ... Give it time..."IT WILL PASS"!
My name is Robin, I am a stage 4 cancer survivor and I was very touched by our blog, loved your ability to put it all into words, very well done.  

I know that feeling of getting blind-sided by another bad scan when you least expect it.  It really jars your world, but I can tell you are strong.  You are dealing with it, feeling it and open about it.  It does take time though, but you will learn and continue to fight.  You are exactly where you need to be.  You can survive!  There is a reason...a bigger purpose...you will find out soon.

My cancer started in 1992 and I wish I had a nickel for everytime I was "supposed to die"!!!  I was on hospice last year and now I am up and about, feeling pretty damn good.  I stopped my treatment and I feel so much better!!  I am not advising anyone to stop thier treatment... BUT...Remember one thing---"CANCER CANNOT LIVE IN AN ALKALINE ENVIROMENT"!  That knowledge has helped me tremendously.  After 3 years of numerous surgeries, life support, months and months of chemo only to find out it returned someplace else, I took control of my treatment and went back to pre-chemo, eastern type treatments and I feel great!  So it can be done!

I hope you get a chance to read this and can check out my space for my story and pictures you can probably relate to.  I would love to hear back from you if you are up to it and if there is anything I can do...Just let me know, I am here for you.
My Prayers are with you,
survive and thrive my friend,
Robin

You are about due for something special; it's 100% natural as well as 100% true. It's made by your children using things made from life. Your homemade Mother's Day Card. The paper is made from the wood of trees. The crayons made from roots, plants and soil. The words from those you gave life are from their hearts so honest and pure, suggests no matter the situations you are indeed presious and they are turly blessed. by the way Happy Mother's Day from a friend.

Wishing you continued strength to fight this battle. I hope that you have been informed about counseling support services, if you need a shoulder to lean on. Sometimes, venting to someone helps you stay focused, and maybe share with you some relaxation techniques when things get worrisome, as well as answer any unanswered questions you may have. I have thoroughly been amazed at your strength and candidness about your life. Will keep you in my prayers, and am wishing you a wonderful Mother's Day. You are truly an inspiration to all women out here in J-land, Kim. (((hugs)))

I feel for you so much hon {{{gentle hugs}}} You have been so brave for so long now and this time 'round, you're tired, bone deep tired of 'being strong in the face of it all' aren't ya?

What came across to me most is that for the first time really since I began reading your journal is the tone was different. I could tell that this time you have begun the grieving process and that is one rough road.  

Hope---I have a quote in my car for me to read every single day:

"Faith is hope holding it's hand out in the dark and just believing"

Deep inside your head remind yourself of the truth you know, Each and every single day is gift...I absolutely believe this for you & myself ...each day and every single moment is a gift for not just YOU but those around you and those whose lives you've touched through your journaling and your upbeat attitude. I know in person you have touched many many lives you don't even realize as you have fought your way through this.

Just know that we are all out here praying for you and your family...numbers count!

Kim your family needs you as much as you need them at this time. Every breath you take is a precious memory as they grieve for you while you are here. No you are not GIVING UP...these are the words of my sister, "I am not giving up, I do not want to die, I have no choice." Hard words for a family to swallow, yet so true.
You have been an inspiration to so many including myself, now is the time for you, for your family. Thinking of you and your family as you walk this journey gracefully, may you each find peace.

You are a strong woman. I know you know this. No, cancer isn't fair. It sucks. I hate the beast. It is a hard path, especially when you are walking it a second time around in such a short time. I know it can seem really overwhelming inside the belly of the beast. But you are always here in my heart, always in my thoughts and always in my prayers.

Sending prayers my friend
hugs

I think it helps. I screamed a lot into the laundry basket so I would not freak out my family.
