Exactly. Hearing it, taking it in and coming to terms with it is a challenge but what we have is to be strong and to keep on keeping on. I can understand feeling grumpy, I think were allowed   
I'm doing okay, thank you for asking. Started having some real bad muscle cramping (side effect of Chemo I'm on), pretty wicked pain but feeling stronger past few days, just in time to start next treatment and go through it all again. At least I know what to expect this time; I think. How can I make myself stop worrying about dying? I'm so scared, it's all I think about.

Thinking about death is a normal part of this whole journey..... But so is thinking about living. Try not to be too scared. I know you can't help it....but we live in amazing times and Doctors can do so much. I'm sorry that with the election and all the work i have to do around the homestead.... I was gone for a few days. I really want to be here for you all.

Why did you have to have your knee replaced because of the leg pain? Does the leg pains cause permanent damage? The pain is truly awful I could barely walk; now taking an inflammatory which takes the edge off. 
I'm glad you responded to my post. I'm always worried I might say the wrong thing on here or how I'm feeling no one else is feeling the same. This reasures me, thank you. 

Really can't say anything wrong here.... This thread is for you and others going through what you are going through.....as far as pain goes.... I don't know about chemo destroying joints.. . But I'm dealing with a lot of joint damage from prednisone which was an anti rejection drug.

Wishing you tons of luck too for a speedy procedure and recovery, and for everything to work out fine for you.

Thank you, Scott

I gathered from the form that this will be a quick, simple procedure. I can't tell you how relieved and happy I am about that! The previous follow up in January was a 2-day story with nuclear medicine, full anaesthetic surgery and and and… It was horrible. And scary.

Hoping for quick, simple and effective.
