And now for something sombre.

My chemotherapy treatment is at an end.

The side effects are horrrible. While it gives me improved longevity, it's not giving me good quality of life. All kinds of small things are horrible on it, and added together? Yuck.

So. Do the doctors have any other treatments for me? No. Well yes.. but they have a less than 10%

I don't know how helpful this comment is, but I make it anyway, though we don't know each other beyond this nebulous connection on LJ.

I've watched my father walk through cancer treatment for over six years now, and seen some of the hell that the treatments can be. And I can well understand getting to that point where it's all just too much to struggle through.

May the glide be as easy as it can be, and may there be what you need on the other side of it.

I'm so sorry Alinta.

Alinta,

I've rarely if ever commented on your posts, because we don't really know each other, and it's hard to know what to say. But I wanted to let you know that I have really appreciated your writings ever since you were first diagnosed with cancer - you have always written with such honesty and openness, and it opened my eyes to a world I had never even thought about before. I'm sure you would have much rather been writing about something else, but I wanted you to know that your posts have meant something to me.

i hope that the concert is lovely! My thoughts are with you and your support people.
