Just woke up today not feeling the best.. all the waiting is making me feel on edge and scared all the time. And to top it all off I feel stupid for feeling this way.. I had my PET scan yesterday and that's got me on edge.. I just keep talking in different places on here hoping to get it all out and feel better but today it doesnt seem to be helping.. I'm scared I want to run away , scream holler I dont know I just want to feel alittle better about everything.
It's all so tough, and until you're faced with these challenges you don't really get it....and it's how it impacts on everything. It must be confusing KT going back and forth and being told different things, hopefully now they're getting things sorted for you. It sounds as though the condition is both really impacting on you physically, must be frustrating. Just try and rest and focus on one day at a time. If you rest it will help in the long run. And frazzled, I understand that feeling...you can't quite work out how to focus or what to do....talking on here really helped me when I was struggling as I didn't feel so alone in it all. Hope you get some answers soon frazzled. I had my letter too from gp yesterday and it mentioned that in the cancer removed I had a second type micro papillary which is not so common and doesn't sound so good ( should Google really), but at least it's removed. Thinking of you guys...get eating those magnums and ice cream. I had a work do last night ( didn't expect to be able to go due to everything and not being at work over the past two months)...had too many gin and tonics x Love and hugs xxx
Thank you. Yeah it's all driving me crazy and throw an 18 yr with serious attitude in the picture my days are pretty crudy..I wish I was back at work am on sick at minute till they say I can go back.. I miss my little job..hope yall have a good day rest lots and eat ice cream KT
I feel your pain. I have two 18 yr olds, one who's transgender and goi g through a divorce after 23 years...life loves to throw us challenges, what would we do without a few magnums and treats xxx
Been separated since 2015 so am on my own my 18 yr has ADHD to highest spectrum was diagnosed around 4.. but when she lived with her dad he took her off meds so now shes at a level I dont know what to do about.. shew I have told her if she wants to keep living here I think we need to go seek help for her as I cant handle one day shes fine and five second later shes screaming and freaking out I just dont know how to deal with her and fight my own battle.. I have 5 kids all together.. I agree and a little ben and jerry in our lives..
Hi Frazzled & Dungarees Girl
I have been reading both your stories on here - I live in the Prostate Cancer forum and what you two are both going through is well - it makes my cancer look like just a common cold.
BUT - there's strength in talking and the whole cancer family as one - we all need each other for support and along with copious amounts of ice cream I wish you both well.
Never give up and remember there is always support on here, if it just to chat, vent your issues or just dream of ice cream...........
I wish you both well - and of course anyone else suffering from any form of cancer.
Best wishes
Brian.

Hey Brian, I missed your message somehow....you are always so positive and Pop up with some fab and supportive advice. This cancer stuff is tough, but it's when it happens with other stuff......the cancer stuff has given me a shake up in all honesty when I was sad about my divorce and feeling lonely.....it's given me perspective and made me realise that I need to try and make the most of each day, and also it has reminded me that there are some fab people out there. Mind you, easy for me when I've had some positive news with the last results.....we just need to lean on each other and help where we can, better facing it together than alone....look after yourself Brian and thank you for your continuing support and kindness x
