Life is not fair

 

My long journey with cancer

Oh how time flies.  I am now at the end of my 4th year struggle with cancer.  I am still under active treatment, which means I still have to go to the hospital every 3 months for medical check, blood test and injection (ADT - androgen deprivation therapy).  This injection is in addition to the medication  I'm taking, Xtandi.

          There seems to be no end in sight.  It is like a life long journey and the longer it drags it's getting            more  tiring.  Anyway the consolation is that the 2 tumors, one at my pelvic bones and the other             between my shoulder blades, had almost disappear after my radiotherapy and 6 months of chemo.            Now I do not have to take my painkiller (oxycodone) 3 times a day, just once a day.

        I am now like a handicap person due to all the medication, injection and chemo and also due to             my already badly damaged bones.  I'm also not spared the anxiety and panic attack and I really              hate    the mood swing.  Well I am very fortunate to have a very supportive family which makes life         easier.
