I never asked to be an 18 year old chemo patient but there i was!!!!!

I was in a car accident that was pretty bad but neither of us in the car were really hurt but both had wiplash and i had a sore chest and was having trouble breathing!!! So they took an X_RAY and from out that i had cancer!!!!

I was diagnosed with Hodgekin's Lymphoma in december of my 18th year and was scared to death!!!!

I have been through 10 months of chemo! Lost most of my hair!!! And had a BITCHY DOCTOR THAT SAID THAT I WAS WASTING HER TIME BECAUSE I WAS NOT PLANNING ON GOING TO COLLEGE NOW THAT I GOT CANCER RIGHT BEFORE GOING!

Since then life has been interesting but I have not been to a doctor in over a year since the treatments were over because of the BITCH!!!!

I am now going to another doctor on thursday for a check-up that is way over due and I am scared!!!! I am not feeling right now and I ama really scared what they are going to say!!!!

Since July of last year my life has improved so much after the treatments!!!
I found the man of my dreams, got engaged and moved out of the house and work 2 jobs to make ends meet!!!!

If there is anyone out there that has been chemo or radiation please respond!!!

right now I would love to hear stories both good and bad!!!1 Right now I just need to know that I am not alone!!!!!

CAn anyone help me ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?1:sad:
 
Never, ever, stop treatment just because you don't like your doctor. She was trying to egg you on. Make you look to the future and not give up. If you don't like her approach find a different doctor.

But never give up.

Chemo sucks. It'll suck your energy out of you. It'll make you sick. You'll thinkg "Oh God I can't do another round." YES YOU CAN. You're still alive, fucking suck it up and go do it. The more aggresive you can be, the better your odds are.

FIGHT. Fight hard, fight long and just fucking never give up. Cry. A lot. Bitch, a lot. But never stop fighting.
 
i have been through all my treatments and was told everything was a s good as it could get when I stopped going!!!But they did want me to go and do radiation!!!! But i did not!!!! Because the radiation doctor said that I will 99% chance have breast cancer in 10 years and that chemo would do work then because of how my body was used to it by then!!!! So I desided to wait it out a little bit!!!! But I am still scared But I am a fighter and I can depend on that but i am A girl and I will CRY A F****N LOT AND BE VERY EMOTIONAL!!!!

I just hope that all goes well on thursday and that they can get the pet-scan set up asap!!!!

because every day I gete a little more scared waiting to know, You know how that is!!!!!

UBER have you got through this ????
 
I know a girl that also had Hodgkins. I don't know tha absolute name to it but it wasn't at a bad stage from what I know and it wasn't the bad malignant one. But she too had to go through chemo and lost all her hair and still has to be concerned about the slight chance it can make a return. She's ok now though. She's got all her hair back and she is feeling fine. She finished school and is now getting married.

This is hard work. I've heard it constantly and in my line of work, I do hear things. It's never fun and it is scary for anyone that's either been through it or knows someoen that's been through it. But you will make it through. Don't let one irritating person stand in your way of keeping yourself healthy. She's got no say in your life and what you do with it. Just be strong and know you got your whole life ahead of you. Make the best of what comes your way....stay happy...and just don't take these things for granted. If you let peopel like her get you down, you'll regret it later. You say you are a fighter, then don't bother yourself with crabby people.

Heck I have to deal with that decision every day....
 
I am trying very hard to be strong and my family is really supportive but i am still scared!!! I could give a shit about that witch anymore I will just never let anyone that I know (GOD FORBID the need ) to ever see her!!!!!


Thank you for the support!!!!! ARE you a nurse????

well thank you!!!
 
Wow, I can only imagine what you are going through. I say just keep pushing yourself, keep yourself alive- for the ones you love if not for yourself. Beleive in yourself, and continue treatments- do everything possible to make yourself healthy. Tears will fall, but you'll be alive. Spend time with your family-love everything about yourself and everyone around you. If you give postive energy out-you'll recieve postive energy in and the quicker you'll get healthy. I'm sure of it.
 
My cousin just died last week from a cancerous brain tumor. I couldn't even go to the funeral because I had fuckin' driver's training. Cancer sucks. All I can say is just don't give in to it. Stay strong.
 
loms, if that wasn't the most insensitive thing out of your mouth, then i don't know what was.

a dogs girl, dont give up sweetie. keep fighting it. make goals, have dreams...acheive them. :) best of luck dear.
 
Yeah, cancer sucks. Most of my relatives die of cancer, and the ones who don't end up dead of heart disease. My only advice is to just say to yourself: "Alright. I have cancer, but that's not gonna stop me from living my life. I'm gonna beat this, and just move on. Cancer is NOT going to kill me. I'm going to kick cancer's ass."

Also, while we're talking about cancer, my grandfather died of cancer after having it for 50 or so years. He was considered a minor medical miracle. He managed to exceed the average life expectancy in Canada, while being given 24 hours, 48 hours, three months, and six months to live, all at different times.

He was a tough old bastard.
 
I really can't put myself in your shoes, but I can somewhat relate, seeing as 3 of my friend's mum's died of cancer of the last few years.
This isn't fair you have to be put through this and at such a young age, but as you said you HAVE improved.

As Uber said, never give up, the treatments do work. I know you're scared, hell I know I would be and I'm sure a hell of a lot of other people would be too, but you have to get past that and be strong, for yourself and for your family. You can do this.

I really hope for the best for you, and hope your life just gets better.
