&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is strange how scared i am i think im suffering panic attacks at every turn which is nothing i have experianced in my life before, and i have cook for some stuck up celebs too! so to sum up , im frightened of not knowning, worried about the treatment, and need a date for a wedding, so apart from that its all good!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thank those that responded to my first ever blog, i didnt know&amp;nbsp;how to create another blog so i guess i just added to the previous one, ( i didnt see a create &amp;nbsp;new blog tab on the right hand side bofore people ask lol ) it was great to see the replys and the fact that in messages people are so open about what they have&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thankyou all and thankyou Macmillan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=371237&amp;AppID=31150&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author></entry><entry><title>first time blogger, chemo and radio patient</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/first_time_bloggerchemo_and_radio_patient/posts/first-time-blogger-chemo-and-radio-patient" /><id>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/first_time_bloggerchemo_and_radio_patient/posts/first-time-blogger-chemo-and-radio-patient</id><published>2010-09-24T16:03:35Z</published><updated>2010-09-24T16:03:35Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Im not sure what to write, no really, i only joined the website today after speaking to a wonderful lady on the phone, like many people i guess i was under the &amp;quot;it can only happen to them&amp;quot; guise but then it happened to me,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;next week i start my first sessions of chemo and radio, im scared, nervous and wake up in a sweat over what may happen, i want to thx the people oi met in the chat today, you ladies and gents are the true heros out there&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So there it is in a nut shell, im 36 and have skin and liver , yep thats right i went and bogof the deal, shame though cause i didnt read the whole contract , that will teach me to read the fine print, and into the unknown, it scares the bajibahs out of me but i think i wont fight it, more accept what i have and then dance the light fantastic, hopefully i have the energy to take this dance all the way&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess support is the key, i do have a tear in my eye not knowing is a big part of this but then i guess everyone has the same feelings&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=370304&amp;AppID=31150&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="energy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/first_time_bloggerchemo_and_radio_patient/archive/tags/energy" /><category term="chemotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/first_time_bloggerchemo_and_radio_patient/archive/tags/chemotherapy" /><category term="feelings" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/first_time_bloggerchemo_and_radio_patient/archive/tags/feelings" /><category term="radiotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/first_time_bloggerchemo_and_radio_patient/archive/tags/radiotherapy" /></entry></feed>
