After I Finished Beating My Cancer I Came Down With Night Sweats and Overcame That Too

Having to deal with cancer was bad enough for my family and I but the idea of living the rest of my existence without one more full nights rest was going to be the end of me. Night sweats had taken hold after my operation and I needed to do something concerning it. This is what I found.
Not too many years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer; I was not a happy camper to find that I would have to get a hysterectomy at such an early age. Though I have two kids already, I prayed to have been able to preserve the choice for one more if we so chose. It is an odd sensation to realize that you will no longer have kids particularly when it is not your decision.
In the early stages of my struggle I was placed into a regiment of treatments that required radiation and chemotherapy. The chemo wasn’t very bad at first yet as time went on I could tell it was changing my body. I realize it can destroy cancer yet it felt like a battle to the death was happening within my body and the conclusion would either be me or the cancer. I have forever thought there must be a better way to deal with this. Possibly someday the treatment will be made available to us, but until then I will only suppose that if there is a biological un-patentable treatment out there, the medical and pharmaceutical industry will keep a lid on it.
Eventually I was able to call myself cancer free and the sense of liberation had covered me from head to toe. But as quickly as I had found this fresh reprieve I discovered a fresh problem had taken its place.
