My wife died from breast cancer. They discovered it during her 5th month of pregnancy so they couldn't do anything until our baby was healthy enough
to be c-sectioned. By the time that was possible the cancer had spread like wild fire. She was told she was terminal 2 days after giving birth. She
was only given 3-6 months but fought for 19 months.
She was put on Chemo that same week. Every single day for those 19 months things only got worse...never better. She went from a healthy woman and
new mother to a helpless creature by the time things were at the end. Over the period of 19 months she lost her hair first(which was not that bad,
she looked good even bald) She couldn't eat, the soars on her tongue were horrible, her hands and feet went numb, then things got REAL bad. she went
paralyzed on her whole left side, lost her speech, went blind, we could only communicate by her wiggling her toe. I had to crush all her meds, give
morphine for the pain, change her and bath her in bed...all while taking care of a newborn. I'm sure there's more but my memory is merciful in
letting me forget that hell.
I swore the chemo made a bad situation worse and I swore (GOD FORBID) if I ever get diagnosed I will NOT go on that sh*t. My wife and I would have
rather had 3 months of possibly good memories then 19 of pure hell.
p.s.- I now no longer trust the medical profession. There are no REAL doctors anymore. Only fools for the pharma companies. I caught them in several
mistakes during the ordeal and we went to the "best" hospitals for care. Sloan Ketterin, Dana Farba institute...
To each there own but I have NO faith in MODERN medicine.
Been a long time reader and never posted but this one got me and I HAD to post.
