Hey Maureen There is chemo and chemo and everyone reacts slightly differently. Some people seem to be less impacted than others. I found chemo a breeze in comparison to radiotherapy. Best thing I found was to keep in touch with my cancer nurse and oncologist and any problems I got straight onto them. Don't forget to let your daughters help out when they can. Get onto friends to get them to help with cleaning and meals if you need it. You wont be a burden to your daughters I am absolutely sure of that and they will be wanting and in some ways needing to help you. ... View more

Hey Lawman I am still in contact with my cancer nurse and it is now nearly 6 years since finishing treatment. You will find kindness everywhere and the professionals that work in the cancer field are amazing!! Plus, when you actually find out what it is you have to worry about, it is strangely comforting.

koala I get on with living and have done so for the past 27 years after getting diagnosed with amelanotic melanoma. However, it was attributed to a childhood sunburn as being the cause. 2nd cancer I had was throat cancer and yes I smoked (no longer do). Soooo, maybe a good lesson in that there are dangers attached to certain habits. In saying that I don't believe it is the only cause and agree with both you and silly in that there are other factors involved. Personally, I reckon immune system malfunction of some sort. Just my bet :D ... View more

I think it is true also ... both my cancers have known causes and I did both of those things. In saying that, a friend has just passed from melanoma that appeared on her but and she never sunbaked nude. In my opinion it is just part of what occurs when we get cancer. I think it is difficult for someone that may have lived a so called healthy lifestyle and still got cancer. Hard to come to terms with! Julie ... View more
