My&amp;nbsp; heads been a bit , ohh i dunno how to describe it. Since the start of this journey, after the initial shock had sunk in...i had felt very up beat and positive&amp;nbsp;... I know&amp;nbsp; the worst of it&amp;#39;s behind me.. Nearing the end of treatment (Roll on November)&amp;nbsp; But&amp;nbsp; these last few weeks all I want to do is cry (I&amp;#39;ve not given into it cos I know I really have no reason to be this way) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Stupid dreams,&amp;nbsp;about people I&amp;#39;ve not seen or thought about in years (some going back to childhood)... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not telling people how I am feeling because they have enough to worry about without me adding.. But this being strong all the time.. Kidding on that I&amp;#39;m fine is just hard to do just now...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i need to get rid of the pity party going on in my head because I know there are worse things happening to other people..&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sorry for the whinging blog...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ok Tomorrow is a new day.......&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I recieved a phone call 2 weeks ago&amp;nbsp;about going for a medical because I am claiming ESP. Having heard all the horror stories and things being said I cant begin to tell you how stressed I was about going for this. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My appointment was today, by the time I reached the examination center I wasn&amp;#39;t really worth a button. I was called in after 10 mins in the waiting room and can honestly say I was shocked. The Nurse was mortified that I had to attend and said that anyone being treated for cancer shouldn&amp;#39;t be called. She couldn&amp;#39;t apologise enough and said they are actually changing the rules and that clearly it had been an error that I was called in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Home exhausted after having to trail into town but so relieved that I dont have the stress of work to face at this point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hope this helps anyone else in the same position&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=416320&amp;AppID=31647&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="examination" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/lainey_b/archive/tags/examination" /></entry><entry><title>Tiredness....</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/lainey_b/posts/tiredness" /><id>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/lainey_b/posts/tiredness</id><published>2011-03-21T10:47:05Z</published><updated>2011-03-21T10:47:05Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I finished Radiotherapy at the end of October . Now on herceptin and things seem to be going well apart from being extremely tired most of the time... I am ok if i don&amp;#39;t go running around like i did before this all kicked off.... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I know other people at the same stage of treatment who are back in work while i am sitting there thinking i couldn&amp;#39;t do a 2 hour shift on my feet let alone the 9 hours I normally did...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Just interested to know if whats happening is &amp;#39;normal&amp;#39; ?&lt;/p&gt;
