Hello All,
I wanted to check in and give you an update on where I am. The last time I wrote my chemo nurses were setting me up with someone to talk to about some of the things going through my head. Well they set me up with a a gentleman named Dr. Royal.I believe he specializes in cancer patients which makes me feel pretty comfortable. I went to see him Tuesday Feb 15th and it went pretty well for the most part. First appointment is always the longest. 90 minutes to put a foundation together of who I am. It was all pretty clinical on this first visit, but I guess that is to be expected. He did speak to me about a few things and gave me some ideas on how to cope for now. It all seems so strange to me that once I started to feel better physically.... BAM!!!!!! my phsycological health went tubing... The doc says this is very common in cancer patients. I guess what happens is we get so busy fighting the actual disease itself and it's physical demands that we push the physcological ones behind us. Hopefully with time and a little therapy maybe we can get back to what the doc calls a New Normal. I was looking back through my first blogs and on my very first one my girl Terrie mentioned a "New Normal" how did she know???? Anyway I am ready to get rid of these feelings of depression and anxiety and move forward. I thought about finding a support group as well. If anyone knows of one please let me know. All is going great physically with me. Seem to be getting my strength back and my hair is definitly coming back. Still not real sure of the color but looking like salt and pepper right now. Thats fine with me.. any color is better than bald.. haha I hope you all are having an amazing year so far. Write me and let me know how you are doing. God is always good!!!!!
