one of those days..

Less than one minute read time.

Just struggling abit this week had all clear last week from scan and drs last week but told that nhl is still pretty much incuarable and consultant told me it will return just dont know when,so... feels pretty much like a hatchet hanging over me now consultant told me that i now have to pretty much put it to the back of my mind and get on with life much easier said than done ,i dont know i think about this dam illness nearly every waking hour , i knew it would be tough physically but didnt expect the emotional problems, guess im going to have to think about councelling even though its not in my nature any of you good people any suggestions?

 

stay strong

    Hi Pete,

    You have said it stay strong. I think if you ask your Consultant if you are in remission, and he says you are that is not a bad thing I have been in Remission now for 9 yrs, and Im still hanging about. I was given 3 yrs to live 12 yrs ago. So I cant complain.  All the best and good luck.

    Take care and be safe Sarsfield.

    Hi Pete,

    I did reply a couple of hours ago but still not showing so thought I'd have another go!

    As you can see on my profile I have experience of both HL and NHL and can understand completely when you say about the emotional/pschological side of this illness - It's hard.

    Do you have a specialist nuse as they can be really good to chat to about any worries or concerns.

    I've sent you a friend request so please feel free to get in touch.

    Take Care.  Kaze
