Rollercoaster (22)

Dealing with cancer is a rollercoaster of emotions. Friday I was feeling great and confident thinking, we are going to beat this thing and now I am feeling doubtful. My husband is tired and does not have an appetite. It is crazy how things can change from one day to the other.

He had a very demanding week at work. He powered through it like a boss but now the week is over and he is back to laying on the couch all day and feeling exhausted. This really gets to me. I just want him to be all right. It is hard to think about how things used to be, and not wish to go back in time to the good ole days.

He is coughing a lot. I asked the doctor about his coughing at the last visit and he said that the lung nodules were not big enough to treat. He did not even think that they were the cause of his cough but I mentioned that the steroids he takes during chemotherapy treatment relieves the coughing. The doctor then said that could be a sign that it is the lung nodules.

What am I supposed to do with this information? It could be the lung nodules but it is not time for a scan yet. I am worried with one thought that I am trying so hard to keep to myself. What if, the lung nodules are growing out of control?! His coughing is getting worse not better and now he isn’t eating.
