Awake and up all night

I have a fear of needles after my time in hospital. It sounds like everything is happening for you all of a sudden. Yes I completely understand. It is scarey. I find my cancer journey scarey. Keep thinking about your goal to be cancer free. Sending all my best wishes love and hugs.xxx

Thank you everyone, I think knowing I can message all my fears and questions and people will reply helps a lot! I have lots of friends who are all trying to offer help but it’s made it more real them knowing - like out of our friendship group I now a that one … the one with this awful thing! So horrible and selfish but I cant stop the why me at the moment. My husband will help tell boys and I dread it  again makes it real! 
 Is there a group that may help with what I do to prepare for chemo - as not sure I’ll have much notice?! Friends all want to help so though I could give them a list things people think help. 
thank you I really mean it xxx 

Good to hear you have got some support. That is half the battle. Look to your husband for support in telling the children. Do it when and how you feel. Sorry don't know much about chemo. I have had radiotherapy. I know you get fatigue with it. So plenty of rest and fluids. Sending love and hugs.xxx

Julie, I can imagine you will be nervous after what happened recently but you can self advocate for admittance if you feel unsafe at home.

Hopefully you won't need to do that but once your treatment starts, and if you're an outpatient, keep a diary of any symptoms and the minute you're not happy go to hospital and insist they admit you, particularly if you have a fever as your immune system will be compromised. Stand firm if anything changes body wise and don't back down.

I've done that three times for OH, knowing hospital was where he should be, but I'm confrontational and knew him being at home wouldn't be the best place.

Sending you hugs, sweetheart xxx

Evening Gill. Don't apologise I very nearly nodded off. Didn't sleep well last night. Thanks for your kind words.xxx

At your service, my lovely.

I hope you have a better night and sleep well when you're ready.

Loads of love sweetie xxx

Hi Sunflower

So sorry to hear about your diagnosis but you're in a good place to vent, cry or moan here. 

We chat about all kinds, cancer, food, travel, hobbies, whatever pops up and there's usually someone around to chat with.
