| Article Title :: Life as a Survivor |
| |
| Lord, I have neuropathy and vertigo
I always have tingling in my fingers and toes.
Why does it tingle when I can't feel at all?
Why do I lose my balance and sometimes fall?
I wake up light-headed and drift if I stand too quickly.
I don't like feeling this way, especially not daily.
My nerves are frayed all the time from the constant pain-
Cancer is gone but its effects still remain.
Six months of Chemotherapy gave me an enlarged heart.
Radiation burnt my chest from the very start.
My muscles contract, oh so tightly, in my chest.
It's the same spot where the surgeon removed my right breast.
Everyday, I play itsy-bitsy spider over my bed,

| Article Title :: Coping With Cancer-A Family View |
| |
| An often forgotten feature of dealing with cancer is what I call 'after the event'. That is, when your loved one has passed on. The coming months are a particular difficult time for such people.There is a real danger that during this time the grieving person resorts to addictive substances to get through the trauma. This is understandable but not always the best course of action. You can find myself drinking far too much alcohol (a lot more than the recommended amount per week) for the months following the death.My experience is that you will then gradually come down to a reasonable level. I'm not advocating drinking as a way of coping. But I'm realistic (read full article) |

| There were so many emotions that I experienced in 2003 when the doctor confirmed I had Breast Cancer; I was overwhelmed. That was a point in my life that seemed to play out in slow motion. I was in a perpetual state of emotional turmoil. I had so many different emotions surfacing then, some of them I couldn’t even identify.There were many days when I was bombarded by questions for which I didn’t have the answers; and in some instances, I had answers but no questions. I sometimes felt like I had been punched by a world class boxer in the middle of my stomach; all the air was knocked out of me.I couldn’t catch my breath, and for a little while I allowed this to be my reality.
