Fighting Cancer for the 4th Time!

My name is Michelle,40yrs old, a wife for 21yrs & mother of 2 teens. I was first diagnosed with cancer (on our Wedding Anniversary) in 2005. It has been such an incredibly difficult battle not just for me, but for my family! The cancer has decided to become VERY aggressive & is spreading to my bones & major organs faster than the Dr's can contain it. Is there anyone out there going thru the same thing? Sometimes I feel so alone because I'm the only one who can physically fight this. My husband & kids have been a constant source of support...but no matter how hard they try, they aren't able to grasp everything I'm having to go thru,not just the physical issues but also the wide array of intense emotions that goes hand-n-hand with this battle... that's why I'm reaching out here. I've been on "devils poision", Tacatere,Gemzar, & now Xeloda. What treatment did you try that worked for you? Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! My time is running out...can anyone out there help? Thank you!

I am so sorry you are dealing with an aggressive cancer and that you have been dealing with it for some time. I am new to cancer having been diagnosed with breast cancer April 2011.  I hate the fact that you feel so alone. Its great you have a supportive family, that is a start and is important. However it is good to have others who are not as emotionally tied up in this like your family is,  Are you working with a good cancer center. Perhaps take advantage of the support services there. In my cancer center they offer reflexology, massages, meditations, support groups and there is an MSW to talk to. These centers also provide support to family and caregivers. It is hard on them as well.  If you are not near a cancer center with support services like this, perhaps seek out the help of a good therapist.  I have a friend who goes to a Shaman for healing. Just don't go it alone - get support.  Good luck to you. Here's to survivorship!
