My thoughts;
The waiting is the hardest part at this point. And the not knowing, having questions and the answers you find online are not "Cancer specific" and they can't give you any meaningful information because each person's cancer treatment plan is just a bit different and each person going through Chemo experiences different things.
I am terrified to lose my taste buds. I am a huge foodie and flavor is my top priority. SO deciding on living a few years and dying of cancer on one hand and on the other hand, getting chemo, losing my taste and living many many years. Seriously, I know it sounds terrible and I know what your thinking "DUH, Choose to live".. Just think about quality of life. Seriously. I want a GOOD quality of life compared to quantity. And my kids feel the same. Well, Two out of three anyway. The baby doesn't want me to leave no matter what of course.
Well if this tells you anything. This entire time that I have been waiting, I have been working on Cookbooks. For those suffering from Alpha-Gal Syndrome. I finished 3 cookbooks in two weeks because I needed something to keep my mind off of the big "C".
