Less than one minute read time.

Been signed off work due to stress, seems beating Cancer was just the start, three bouts of Cellulites which has me in hospital each time. Being a single mum is just so hard!!    it just seems unfair went through all that now this when will it end?? Grrrrrrrrr !

    Hi Emma, is understandable that you are stressed after everything you have gone through, have no experience of cellulitis but hope with some rest you are able to recover.

    I am going back to work next week after being signed off with stress, have been off 6 weeks.  No tablets but the rest has done me a lot of good so hope it does the same for you.

    Hi Emma, sorry to drive you nuts but have just read one of  your responses and note you are taking St. Johns Wort - don't want to sound like an old fart but have you mentioned this to your oncologist?  All medications should be run by them before you take them as they may interrupt the treatment you are on.  Oh, and I was put on Prozac in 2007 - large dose - I feel so much better able to cope - sometimes we do need a little extra help to cope and I think dealing with cancer needs all the big guns available.  God bless, Ann

    Thanks Joanne your positive comments do help x

    I get the cellulitis in the top of my legs and it spreads to my stomach in a matter of hours but i will see if i can keep some antibiotics at home has going into hospital to have iv is a nightmare even more so that my veins are rubbish thanks to the chemo.
