give angel a f***ing break already!! Views: 63

chemo day, and i am so out of control. the final word, folfox is not working, and switching to folfiri, same but switching out the oxaliplatin with irinotecan. more toxic, but something different. this is the second line of defense and it has to take. right now, i am hating angel’s body for its stubbornness! why can’t it just give up already and give her mind a f***ing break!

this week i’m getting a second opinion on treatment at uw, i hope they take her, the resources there doesn’t seem as limiting.

i’m a mess right now. i should head back and put my game face back on. deneen is spending the day with her in the treatment room.

this has to work. stay positive, and keep sending angel your thoughts.
