Been struggling as of late with chemo and all of it's wonderful side affects, and honestly it's just really got me down. I really try not to burden my friends or family with how much the whole situation just takes it toll on me. I put a fake smile on and do my best to hide the fact I'm in pain. So I really have no outlet for my frustrations/stress etc. I guess I'm really just trying to blow off steam by posting this, don't really expect anything out of it, other than to maybe help myself get some of it off my chest.
I've taken the whole thing in stride (or so I think) since I was diagnosed roughly 4 years ago at 22, went through chemo, dealt with it, felt better for a while. Used it to my advantage to fish 24/7 and enjoy my "prime" (if you could even call it that). Now I'm right back where I was 4 years ago, if not worse. Stuck inside, constantly sick from the meds, too weak to really do much of anything. I've never been one to just lounge around, yet it seems to be all I can do these days, even worse when everybody insists that I do nothing but rest. I can't even sneak out of the house for 20 minutes of fresh air, or to make a few casts. I can't remember the last time I went 2 days without fishing at least for a few minutes, I haven't touched a rod in weeks.
Idk, I guess the moral of the story is cancer sucks, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
