Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Getting mentally disturbed in such a situation is normal. It's a big shock and nobody accepts that so easily. You are brave enough to fight against it and completed so many rounds of taxol/carbo. You need a little more courage. What people think of you, should never be your concern. People have to do what they do. You should never pay heed to their thinkings. Keep focused and contented. You are bold enough to be what you are.
Once surgery and post-surgery chemo is over, chances are that you will be living such a normal life as before. So, wait for good days to come. It all depends on type of cancer and staging/grading of cancer, but many cancers have a good prognosis.
The word cancer is no more an other name of death. It has been in the past not now, when you have a lot more option medically and surgically.
Keep hope and believe in you.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
