Awake and up all night

Hi Stevie, I believe propranolol has shown best results, when used as a combination treatment for advanced cancer, alongside chemotherapy, I'm not sure but believe your NED, my friend, which I hope will always be the case, and I'm sure your team knows about propranolol and when to get the best results from it, so just make sure, that not only is it safe for you to use now, but should there come a time when it could be a big benefit, your not putting that at risk

Thank You Eddie. 
I hope so too.

I don't know where WW or Gina live.  Somewhere in Rutland?

It was cloudy in Doncaster anyway.  I've seen some of your Scilly photos, really good!

I'm sure Gina and WW, would love to meet up Steve, and the Scilly's are wonderful my friend, but it's home on Monday, for MDT meeting on Tuesday where hopefully I'll get another 8 weeks on treatment m.

Peggy how do you know that have you spoken to your hospital Doctors and Staff - what did they say 

Eyesight - you need to make an appointment with your opticians -if not -maybe one of your family could ring them for you - only 5/10 minutes to make call & you can get your eyes checked

Never quite sure when to chat - cant get talk you daytimes - seems to me early times like 2/3/4 in the morning  not all of us are up at that time 

stay with us we are here for you & there are people here who will help you

Hi, I’m waiting for a hysterectomy as a potentially cancerous fibroid as been found.  I’m worrying myself silly at all the what ifs and having trouble sleeping.  Any tips on how not to overthink and accept I have to wait for my appointment with my consultant which will hopefully be in a week or so but a week feels so long and I keep thinking ahead to having the op and still then having to wait for results.  I just feel scared and out of control xx

Hi Karenza, and welcome to our friendly little thread, it's not surprising your worried my friend, the not knowing is difficult, and your mind can take you everywhere at times, but it seems to me your issue has been discovered early, your team are on top of things, and treatment "surgery," isn't far off, which will hopefully be a total success, as I believe the chances of fibroids being cancerous are very small,I always found keeping busy, being with family and friends, days out- a little break if possible, and walking/exercising, reading"NOT Dr Google,"and my art & crafts worked for me.

Best wishes m

Hi Eddie,

I thought maybe propranolol would also then help prevent recurrence. The old prevention is better than the cure approach. But maybe I'm wrong. 

Steve

Morning Stevie, it's a minefield knowing what meds to take, at what stage, in what order and dose, and how adding an unknown element may change things, and I know propranolol is prescription only for conditions totally unrelated to cancer, and I believe you recently finished your pacitaxel course, BUT, IF, one or two cancer cells remain your pacitaxel will still be working, stopping them dividing and they will die off,  and who knows what effect propranolol will have to that,
