I'm sitting in my garden which I have always loved and am trying to find who I am, where have I gone, I'm not the same anymore and I feel I cannot go on. My cancer was in 2007,, I have painful arthritis which is made worse by the fact I can no longer take anti-inflammaries, my left arm looks like an elephant, my back/hips/knee hurts and I now have angina, for which I am taking copious amounts of medication - I feel like crap. Where on earth am I, I have completely lost myself to illness and, today, I cannot fight to have some kind of fun with the restrictions that have become my world. The lovely people on here live with cancer all the time and never cease to amaze me but I've had enough today, maybe tomorrow I'll feel less on the floor but right now where is the beauty I used to see in life itself. Keep well everyone, you are all inspirational. Ann x

I hope you feel better Anne, we all have our down days, I know I do I look in the mirror and see a different face and get looks from people who see I have changed. But I'm still me inside and on my good days I don't care about any of it I hear the birds singing! And I put a smile on my face and get on with life

Big hugs

Hi Ann

You've every right to feel down. You've gone through so much already and are living in pain.

However, you're also the source of support and advice for a lot of people on here and you could only do that if there was an optimist living in there somewhere. She may be AWOL today, but I hope we'll see her back again soon.

Take care

Ann x
