Lost all my Positivity

Hello tiggerroo41.  I'm sorry to read about all you have been through.  I think it can take a while for a cancer diagnosis to sink it, I remember it finally hitting me some weeks later.  It's very difficult to try and stay positive.  What I find helps me is if I can manage to distract myself for an hour or two.  I find if I can have a break from thinking about cancer then I return feeling more able to cope.  I've also found strength by reading about other people's experiences.  Not just cancer patients but anyone who has struggled with adversity and come out the other side.  I think to myself if they managed to deal with their problems then I can deal with anything this wretched cancer decides to throw at me.  Don't forget the Support Line is here if you ever need to talk to anyone.  Take care xx

Thanks Margaret for your kind words.  I am normally the queen of bouncing back after everything I have been through with my disability and I am sure I will this time too.  I just feel that every time I beat something, then another stumbling block gets in the way xx

i am sorry to hear about your setback, i am looking forward to being 50 next year and like you but in a different way have struggled since birth allways get to the top of the hill and then you fall down again, but on reflection i think that these struggles have made us the VERY detirmined people that i know i am, but it does not mean that we cant wobble occasionally, but you now have everyone on these forums to help support you

regards

Lucy
