Journal entry by Marlys Krueger

I can honestly say I have never been so sick. The chemotherapy did it’s job but it also has a terrible impact on my body so I discontinued it and I am waiting two weeks or so for The toxins to clear my system I should be having surgery in less than a month, meeting with my surgeon this week to determine steps going forward. The exhaustion is completely debilitating it is all I can do to walk across the room and collapse on a chair I have absolutely no appetite but try Force myself to eat as I need the nourishment. I cannot remember what it felt like to be normal and well. It is very difficult to have to depend on other people for my basic needs As I have been a strong independent woman for many years. Perhaps by the end of the summer I will start to feel some normalcy and I might even have a few sprouts of hair poppingBack on my head. I have been told I have a very lovely head shape, who knew?The loyalty of my friends has helped me through this most difficult period of my life. There is much more to report but quite honestly I don’t have the energy to complete this. Even talking requires more energy than I seem to have. Thank you to all of you for your thoughts and prayers,I feel surrounded by your love
