Has anyone here fought a life ending disease? Such as cancer? I currently ended my fight against stage 4 cancer as treatment has not been working. But gave it a shot for 7 years.
No i haven't. I've been lucky enough my whole life to not lose anyone i cared about. Im so sorry for what your going through and I couldn't even imagine how hard that is.
"The silence belongs to us... and every single person out there, is waiting for us to fill it with something."
For me it wasn't a life-ending disease it was just something extremely stupid that turned near-deadly because doctors misdiagnosed me with depression instead of what I actually had, Hypothyroidism. By the time I actually got diagnosed, I was sleeping 16-20 hours a day and looked like an anorexic because I couldn't eat, had no energy and all my hair was falling out and my skin was yellow/gray and I could barely walk. My body had so little energy that my (not sure what it's called) was going into overdrive and releasing chemicals like norepinephrine to keep me going which was making me jittery like a chihuahua. One of my doctor's excuse for not diagnosing me earlier? "Oh, well people with hypothyroidism are usually fat." Seriously, I almost died because doctors couldn't be bothered to do a blood test. I was crying in front of one of them before the thyroid diagnosis about how little energy I have an not understanding how this can be a symptom of depression and he tried to give me a speech about how everyone's tired and that there's nothing that could be done and that I just need to learn to live with it.
Now I take two tiny thyroid pills a day and I'm fine. Seriously I get so angry about all the years I lost.
I'm sorry to hear about your cancer, wish you could find a solution as simple and easy as mine was.
