Update on my boyfriend, he's starting chemo tomorrow

[SlitherinSisters]

Thanks so much everyone for your support. He is just about done with his first 8 hours of chemo! He's doing good so far.

this cancer is the most horrible disease ever.

does he/you guys have any support groups in line to help deal with the effects of the chemo?

i am sure sharing with others who have/are going thru the same thing might be beneficial.

There is one here in town, but he doesn't seem very interested because it's....an older support group, he would rather be with people his age. I'm not sure if we could find one around here for his age group

Our thoughts are with you and your boyfriend, and hope the best for him.

There isn't anything else to say than that, but this reptile community really is a great support group!

It's easy to feel like you're not ready for him being on a tough chemo schedule, but hopefully you can find some strength in knowing that him going through chemo is him getting better.

I do love this site, everyone makes me feel so much better. I'm definitely not ready to watch him get sick and fatigued

Your boyfriend as well as you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Just make sure while he is going thru it that he has the most positive people in his life around him as much as possible.

He got to met my favorite Aunt last week when we went to D.C. she is by far the most lively happy person I know. She already loves him to death and I told him when ever he is feeling low he needs to call her!!!

I hope all goes well with your boyfriend. My mother in law had breast cancer and had to take the pill form of chemo Tamoxifen for five years She is finally cancer free now. You and your boy friend will be in my thoughts and prayers Tell him to stay strong!!!!!

Oh wow, I'm so glad she is doing well! Thank you so much, and I'll be sure to tell him to stay strong.

Pray, fill your minds with positive thoughts and surround yourselves with positive people. I am a 16 year survivor of stage 4 lymphomia. I had more than 35 tumors throughout my body. With good doctors, strong Prayer and love of family and friends I am here to tell you this now. All things are possible through Him!! PM me if there is anything I can do to help him through this. Things will get tough but He will not put more on him than he can handle. Thoughts and Prayers from the entire Fat Boy's family.

I'm so glad you are doing well! Your treatment must have been really rough! He's sitting next to me in the cancer treatment center and he was glad to read your success story.
