Thanks for the post. Yes it is overwhelming having to do everything. My family does help but not as much as I need. Sometimes I feel like I am going to end right back up in the hospital. I know this isn't their fault. Most people have just told me this is God's way of telling me to slow down and smell the roses. I have let alot of things go. Some days and mostly weekends I don't even want to get out of bed. I know I have to because I have 3 kids. Tomorrow is never promised to any of us. I have had many conversations with God and pray often. Its not why me or why not the bad people I do thank him and continue to pray for my strength, courage and guidance.

Exactly. thats the same thing I thought I was supposed to learn. It was Gods way of telling me to slow down. I think we both got the message. Alot of times your immediate family and kids don't know or understand so you have to tell them. I am praying for you, just enjoy 1 day at a time. As I write this my son is sleeping under my arm that has become sore. I don't mind though because we are both here. Boy he gave me a run for my money when I was having surgery, chemo and radiation. Don't forget you have my email-HUGS-kimo09

Jenjenvaldez-oh my gosh, you are and have been through so much and you have every right to feel the way you do. Do you get any help from your family?I know I didn't either but my case isn't as serious as yours. I wish I could just jump into the screen and be with you. I'm sure you know God is with you every step of the way. Talk to him, he listens no matter what it's about. It is true and thank God for this site that no one but all of us understands your journey and how you feel. If you can't do something don't-they'll get the message eventually. I used to do everything - never sat down all day for years. I did the decorating, all the housework, the grocery shopping ect ect ect, plus I have a high functioning special needs child that wasn't always so high functioning. But you know what sometimes you just have to let go and say if it doesn't get done today it will tomorrow or the next day. You are the age I was when I was doing everything and obviously it has had an impact on both of our health and a lot of other women who do too much. I am in Lake Villa, kinda by Great America. I know where Evergreen Park is because we moved to the burbs from the south side of Chicago when I was going to start school. I had relatives that lived in Evergreen Park. I am not all that far if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to let me know, I can come. I am in remission now and looking for yet another job. Here's one ((((BIG HUG)))) for you. I would like to exchange email with you so I'm going to go to the top of your profile and hit exchange Email ok???I will definitely be praying for you too, specially. Do you have a church you go to-if not you could come with me and my son to ours. You take care and just take a stand not to do too much. My husband and son finally got the message and yours will too. Write me back and tell me how your treatment is going and how you feel. kimg09

Jenjenvaldez posted an update
Seems like just yesterday my ENT sent me for a sinus catscan that lead to the discovery of a brain tumor on my cerebellum. I've come a long way learning to walk and balance again but my gait is still off. Tonight I finished cycle 5 of 13 of temador or chemo. Trying to be brave and strong and fight but finally giving in to my stubbornness that I do need to chat and checking in with my doctor is just not enough to help me "heal".

5 months agoLike Lirasgirl says, there are lots of people here to talk. One tip for you, post your requests to talk to some one, or comments and questions in the questions tab, people will see them there. Here, as a status update on your own page not many people will see it, until you get some people/friends following you. Shout if you need to talk.
