I've just been diagnosed. I hear from alot of people I have a pretty high chance of getting completely cured and cancer free, but I'm honestly still so scared.

@WalkAndPaddle Жыл бұрын

It's a scary process. Focusing on health and healing are important, but acknowledging your feelings is important too. Find someone to talk to about them and do things that lift your spirits. For me, it was a lot of prayer and Bible study followed by lots of laughter. I'm 3 years post diagnosis and I'm still working through everything I went through. 💗💗

I was super scared to start the treatments but after watching your video, it eased my worries. I'm still not convince about the needle in the chest!!! You received it like a champ!

Thank you for posting what it is like to receive chemo. I have a biopsy next week to see if I have lymphoma. If I do have it and I need chemo, I feel less scared now. Is the 24 hour chemo infusion the norm? How do you fit in a shower during the week if you have a chemo bag attached and or a bone marrow medication attached to your stomach? Should I count on spotty showers during the week of treatment? Also, did you ever develop an infection or viral infection during treatment? I’m so glad to see you doing well today and you had some nice thick hair growing when this was filmed!

@WalkAndPaddle Ай бұрын

Hey! There were two options for me. This one avoided radiation at the end, so that's why I chose it. I didn't shower that whole week. I just did sponge baths. I got sick towards the end of my chemo. I went to the beach with a friend and our kids and got it from one of them. Otherwise I was OK. Thank you. I'm here if you have other questions. jessica@walkandpaddle.com

Hi. I'm sorry that you have to go through this too. I didn't have any real side effects. TMI - but I did get through menopause because of it. Other than that, I pretty much came out ok. But it has taken 4 yours of workouts, yoga, nutrition, etc.
