Fear & Loathing ReturnsOn the eve of her return for treatment, Rene visited the bottom end of her joy. I was not surprised that it occurred and I expect a repeat episode every time she goes back for treatment. I am glad that she was emotional about it because I feel she needs to express her anxiety and holding back will only make it worst for everyone involved.
This event and every future one reminds me of the one thing, she is truly alone during this process! Only she can ingest the chemicals needed to restore her body. Only she along with other cancer survivors can truly understand the emotional and physical side effects of this treatment. No amount of support will take away a single ounce of mental and physical decay she will endure during this process.
She is trying to achieve a recovery apex, only to be thrown down a hill again and until she has completed her 7 chemo treatments, she must pick herself up mentally and physical each time. She is not in control of the physical aspects of journey, she is in control of is the mental aspect and this is crucial. She must envision that she will recover from both the sickness and its treatment! I sit on the sidelines emasculated and doing what I can to support her and she must do this part alone!

You are not alone in this treatment. Just think of the thousands of other people who have gone through it and survived, including the elderly and very young.
