It dont take much does it

1 minute read time.

Hi just been on chat but could not stay been like that for few days now think had to much on my mind . Quite selfish in some ways but the fact that those feelings are coming back again is the reason . been on holliday at home last two weeks and spent most of that at hosp having checks and tests,all ok thank god , but still one to come the big one biopsy on prostrate thats the one that has started the feelings again . just when i thought i had beaten this bloody monster it has decided to raise its head some where else or might have . The thing is i don't think i have the strength to go through this all again and don't know if i want to try .maybe the test will be nonmalignant hope so . I am so sick of being sick its a never ending story and has been for two and half years not just the cancer but all that comes with it .the worst thing is these bloody bouts off depression starting on one again can't be bothered about much could stay in bed all day dont want to go back to work next week just feel realy down but will gat back on track again i think sorry for the winging  don't seem to be able to do this right either

    Hi Alan......Please don't think this way hun, wait for the results and then take it from there love. It has been two and a half years for me to and yes I am sick of being sick also, but what is the alternative. My cancer is back and I am fighting it again and will continue to do so no matter what. You could be worrying yourself silly for nothing Alan. I have been very lucky I guess I don't get depressed, I am not going to insult you by saying snap out of it because it is not that easy but there must be some help out there for you. I wish I could make you feel better love, give you some words of comfort but i haven't got any. What ever happens love please don't just give up, for what it is worth I am sending love and hugs your way and am there for you if you need me....love Carol x

    Good morning Alan.  Hope you are feeling slightly better today - even if its because the sun is shining.  Cancer strips us of our armour and, because you are man, don't think you can get away with it.  We are all human and I can completely understand where you are coming from.  So, as kezzerbird says, whats the alternative?  Sometimes I just want to disappear somewhere and come back when my mind feels better but its not to be - I have to go on.  My dog is my saving grace as, when I take him for a walk I can just focus on the lovely flora around me and listen to other dog-walkers daily deliberations about nothing and slowly come round to being sane in some way.  Its true, no man is an island and sometimes we all need to be around other people - even if its to talk about the weather.  I go out feeling on the floor and come home and make a cup of tea and think 'well I'm still here and there must be a reason so I'll do whatever feels good for me today'.  Please don't beat yourself up - I don't understand why we have to hide our feelings of helplessness - we manage to laugh, love, share - there has to be a negative somewhere and cancer is a real eye opener to us all.  God bless, get out in the sunshine Alan and take one day at a time for now while you need to be with the black dog.  Ann
