I was barely 21 when they removed my uterus, ovaries, right kidney, then mom hit her head and the doc.s realized she has brain cancer so I moved into her to take care of her 24/7... she passed away and I lost my voice in like 4 mo. Throat cancer, 3 surgeries, I cannot speak or make a damn phone call for almost 2 years.
I feel no more tastes, smells, cannot eat properly, I am on fluids most of the case and in the past weeks I am throwing up blood and my esophagus and/or stomach hurts. I am so tired of all this I cannot tell you. My immune system is pretty much dead after months of radiation and chemo, the side effects are sometimes worse than the way I feel.
I wish you a happy ending, you are a great son and all the people posting positive vibes, wish I could have shared a more uplifting one.
