Once I Finished Destroying My Cancer I Came Down With Night Sweats and Overcame It as Well

Having to deal with cancer was dreadful enough for me and the notion of dealing the rest of my existence without another complete nights rest was going to be the ending of me. Night sweats had taken crept in after my surgery and I just had to do something about it. This is what I did.
Not many years back I was told I had cancer; I was not pleased to find that I would require a hysterectomy at such a young age. Though I have two kids already, I wished to have been able to keep the choice for any more if we so chose. It is an odd sensation to realize that you can no longer have kids mainly when it is not your choice.
In the first months of my struggle I was given a contingent of treatments that required radiation and chemotherapy. The chemo was not too bad in the beginning yet as time went on it was obvious it was altering my body. I realize it can destroy cancer yet it felt like a battle to the end was happening within my body and the result would either be me or the cancer. I have long thought there must be a healthier way to deal with this. Maybe in the future the cure will be made accessible to us, but until then I can only imagine that if there is a natural un-patentable cure out there, the health and pharmaceutical industry will keep it under lock and key.
Eventually I was able say I was cancer free and the sense of release had covered me from top to toe. Except as rapidly as I had found this new relief I discovered a new crisis had taken its place.
