I'm 33 and I've got stage 4 colon cancer.

Right now I'm back of chemo after not having it for about 3 weeks. I'm on FOFIRI and Avastin, and the Avastin indirectly caused a massive blood clot in my shoulder that caused me to get hospitalized. I just had chemo on Wednesday and things were going pretty good. Felt like shit today though....I had some problems sleeping and got behind on some of my meds, so I was pretty bad off. Finally got back on track and I'm feeling a bit better right now.

Just took some Zoplicone, hoping it puts me to sleep. I can't believe that two years ago I was in awesome shape, getting ready to start a new career, and putting a bunch of shitty life circumstance behind me. Now I'm laid out on a couch, have no energy for anything, and take a handful of pills for everything from pain, to anxiety, to high blood pressure. Life will just fuck you over sometimes....sigh.
