fellow Canuck, you can beat this.
You'd think, I mean I've gone through every other damn thing. Unfortunately I'm not so sure this time, it has been 7 years of bad luck, if you believe in that stuff. I don't think it's luck, I just happen to be having a terrible few years. Divorce, surgery to remove the tumour in the first place (which messed with my head really bad - literally woke up a different person), lost my house, lost my job but then regained it, then covid shut it down and I had to switch careers... I just think it's been too much and I don't have the strength to fight anything anymore.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I'll keep on keepin' on.
Here's what is happening:
In the next bit, I have to have CT and MRI scans, and have a mold made to keep my head in place. Around the 15th of Feb I will be having radiation therapy 2x a day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. After that it's 6 months of chemotherapy, on a 5 days in a row then 23 days off rotation. After that, it's chemotherapy 1x a month for a year.
Healthcare is free in Canada, but there's only one center where I can do my treatments so staying out of town is likely going to bankrupt me. I'm really low on energy already, and working as much as possible because I'll be immuno-compromised and won't be able to do my job as an electrician working with the public. If the cancer doesn't get me, the stress will try it's best.
