Hi, I'm not sure what to say, but here goes.....
I'm 41 & have 2 daughters aged 3 & 1. I was diagnosed a year ago with a rare papillary kidney cancer which had already spread to my lung, there is no cure. I was put on an oral chemo called sunitinib, which recently stopped working & the cancer on the lung had spread. I'm now a week in to another oral chemo called axitinib, there is less chance of this one working at all, but I'm hoping it will help even if its just a couple of months, that's still a couple of months added onto my life.....right!
Taking the meds is a struggle, they make me feel so tired & ill, but I have to continue for my girls. In fact I only cry for my girls, they don't deserve this, but at the same time they are my saving grace. They make me get up in the morning & cherish every moment I have with them however much of a struggle life is I just have to look at their faces to cheer me up.
I'm currently taking each day as it comes & hoping the meds are working as the next line of attack doesn't sound very favourable, but that's another story.
I think I'll leave it there for now, thanks for listening, or reading ;-)
