Unsure how to get started? Take a look at our help pages on blogs.
I was out all day yesterday with my Mum and worn out when I got home so no time to write a post yesterday. I did read the replies though and felt warmed and comforted by them...thank you!
I re-read my first post before starting todays and realised something. I have mentioned in my blog and in more than one post, that I feel a bit fraudulent posting on here when I am on watch and wait and not receiving treatment ( I use fraudulant for want of a better word - I seem to be finding it hard finding words...
Hi I am trying to find out any information or create a support group for young adults who are suffering from a secondary cancer of unknown primary.
If anyone has any information / groups which they already attend, please let me know.

Was informed that they would remove it and to await an appointment which would be probably in the next 4 weeks.

I told myself I would keep a diary so that I could keep a check on any new symptoms, when they started, if they were relevant or just a product of my fear. I've sat down at the desk with a notebook and pen ready to start many times then felt either silly at writing stuff down or scared that my family would find, read and either think me mad or be scared to death at the thoughts I have written in my book.

So I went through the slough of despond after chemo 4 as the veins in my left arm packed in and being left handed it was as if my world imploded. So the rest of the chemo was pumped into my right arm and I stayed home fighting the petty miserable side effects willing it all to be over.
