How can I love my cancer when all I want is for it to go away.
I returned today from a week abroad to find a dear friend same age same condition passed away he was a fantastic guy and I will miss his emails.
Four and a half years of living with a terminal illness and yet not feeling ill except when I took their treatment.
I had to learn quickly how to accept the side effects and condition my mind and body to take control.
Now I am taking a break from the drugs I worry about the cancer becoming...

Hi to all, not sure where to begin. Feeling pretty rough for the last week or so and not really sure why. Been taking Ibandronic Acid for the last month and can only assume these are some of the side effects that go with it. To start with I have a pain in the middle of my chest which my GP says is a pulled muscle, ok but hurts like hell.I have a frozen shoulder right side from using my wheelchair which is too wide and my right hip hurts,(GP diagnosis bursitis), can't take any anti-inflammatory pills...

Two months later she had a scan and again...

Good luck to all those who, like me, are doing the Race For Life today.

Thanks Marsha for your words of encouragement - I'm not sure I will be running like the wind - more chance of passing it than running it !

Hi, I am Julie, my Mum used to call me Loulabell when I was little. My Mum has advanced lung cancer, we have known since the end of March and life has changed irrevocably since her diagnosis. I was moved to join you tonight as my visit with her this evening broke my heart and I don't know how to help her. She was so very low and has been so strong till now. She feels she has no control over her life and emotions, she had chemo last week and was on a high for a few days and now she has sunk like a...
My Mother has been in Broomfield hospital Chelmsford for a month now and during this time I have had to repeatedly complaint to the point I am now friends with the cheif exec's assist lol. I have had to complain about the care levels the treatment, why they dont explain anything to us and think they can just do it.
