Well, it is now 28 February 2018, just over 6 months post diagnosis. Oh, and it is 11:40 am my time (Qatar)...so that'll be 08:40 am back in the UK, where I believe you are dealing with some pretty grotty weather. At least you have trees! Anyway, I digress...back to the "here and now".

Hi all, this is my first post and I'm not really sure what to do or why I am even here. I have been extremely lost with my experience with cancer - it hasn't even been a year yet. I will start off by saying that I asked for cancer. I have suffered with depression for many, many years, never having it in me to end my life. I was a coward, wishing to have cancer to kill me. I felt it wasn't fair on those people who wanted to live, if anyone should suffer it should be me. Then came the day I was diagnosed...
Things change, but do not get easier. The journey seems long.
I am monitoring heart rate and bp now, adjusting meds Melatonin lowers bp, so adding that must be cut back. Then I do not sleep as well.
Difficulty breathing, digestive problems, dizziness. This is a full time job, especially when eventually it all affects one's spirit.
I have been blessed by friends, prayers. So I am thankful for a support systrm, though I have no family nearby other than my husband.

I had my blood test today ready for my second fec cycle on Monday. I feel fine although my hair has started falling out. Hopefully no problem with blood, not sure if they would let me know before travelling to the hospital. I am not as scared now I know what to expect at the clinic, not pleasant but got to go through it. Have been told that I will be prescribed Anastrozole at the end of my treatment and will be on it for years.
Just received a call from the infusion center reference my scheduled chemo treatment days and the regiment (GC) program they well start me off with, this coming Wed morning.
