This Analogy Nails What Cancer Feels Like

I have Cancer, diagnosed in April..I've had scans and other tests but no treatment plan as of yet..it's a heavy load to carry..I try to deal with it the best I can and pray 🙏 that it can be managed... we'll see.. wouldn't wish it on anyone

I have metastatic melanoma. I've previously survived NH Lymphoma. This time the treatment is making it difficult to breathe. I am much more disheartened this time. Cancer is on my mind every waking moment. It's horrible.

I have esophageal cancer for 2 years now . I chose to not do the chemo, radiation or the surgery they suggested . I didnt do any of it bc the surgeon explained to me that even if I did go through the steps I'd likely only live 5 more years tops . Given what I just explained I'd like to say i feel great besides the fact I can physically feel the tumor itself with my hand and know its still there and that's the only thing that bothers me from time to time . I tell myself that I have the rest of my life to live and it eases the prior thought of knowing I have cancer . Your emotional well being aids your recovery of your physical well being more than you can imagine and its something your oncologist won't tell you

I constantly feel like being on the edge of a cliff. Waiting for blood tests and scans crushes me.

🙏🙏🙏🙏 My spouse went through chemo and radiation treatments before she passed away. Cancer sucks! The treatment sucks!

cancer suks!

The uncertainty is the worst

sometimes it's like Groundhog day, radiation treatments daily, then chemo treatments every week, the pain without meds is like someone stabbing you. the heavy backpack sure sounds about spot on.

My chemo and radiation didn’t kill me but it sure as hell tried. Glad to still be kicking.

Just pray 🙏🏼it’s really all we have
