As soon as I Finished Destroying My Cancer I Was Cursed With Night Sweats and Beat It as Well

Dealing with cancer was bad enough for my family and I yet the notion of living the rest of my days without another complete nights rest was going to be the end of me. Night sweats had taken set in after my surgical treatment and I just had to do something about it. This is what I had to do.
Not so many years back I was told I had cancer; I was not happy to find that I would require a hysterectomy at such a youthful age. Although I have two children already, I would have loved to been able to hold on to the choice for any more if we so chose. It is an odd feeling to know that you will no longer have children more than ever when it is not your decision.
In the beginning of my battle I was mandated a contingent of treatments that required radiation and chemotherapy. The chemo wasn’t very bad in the beginning but as time went on it was obvious it was changing my body. I know it can destroy cancer but it felt like a conflict to the death was happening within my body and the outcome would either be me or the cancer. I have forever thought there must be a healthier way to deal with fighting cancer. Maybe one day the medication will be made available to us, but until then I will only imagine that if there is a biological un-patentable medication out there, the health and drug industry will keep it under lock and key.
In due course I was able consider myself cancer free and the sensation of liberation had covered me from head to toe. Except as quickly as I had found this fresh reprieve I discovered a fresh problem had taken its place.
