Awake and up all night

1. Thanks for your reply, you are bang on no point in making decisions until I know exactly what is happening if it has spread to anywhere else.im so sorry that you are going through this 

Morning Sbird,

Yes. Having my lymph nodes out in a few weeks, then chemo and radiotherapy. Hormone tablets for probably 10 years and some chemo tablets for two. They are throwing everything at me.

Im so sorry Jane that you are going through this,25 years ago my mum had breast cancer having to have her right breast removed. Here's was stage 3 and 25 years later no more cancer,I know that we are all different and I really do get about being worried it's only natural 

My mum also had her nodes removed and she had the same treatment, stay strong if you need any support please message me 

Good morning Janey.

I'm so sorry to hear about everything you're going through, but please try to gain confidence that the treatment you'll be having soon will destroy the cancer.

Like Adz's mum, mine also had a mastectomy at 86 and was then put on chemo tablets. Due to her age, her doctors didn't want to give her further radical treatment but she survived another eight years and was cancer free. It was an unrelated stroke that claimed her, aged 94.

Where there's life, there's always hope sweetheart so never give up. You could also consider joining the Breast cancer forum, where you'll find lots of support from others who've shared your own diagnosis. A community champion will be able to provide the link to that group.

Please post here as often as you like though, as our lovely members also give fantastic support. Sending you big hugs xxx

Good Morning Jane (Janeyp )

Good morning Adz.

I'm so sorry to hear about all that you've been through and now have further issues to tackle. It certainly is very unfair, but you sound strong and should definitely discuss things on Wednesday before making decisions.

I hope your pain meds give you some respite, but do mention that on Wednesday too, as you need to feel as comfortable as possible. You could join the Melanoma forum for further support and advice from others there - a community champion will be able to provide the link.

Helen, Sbird, has already given you some great advice and others here are always ready to offer good support.

Wishing you the very best for your meeting and sending warmest hugs xxx

Thanks for your message,I hope that you are doing as well as possible 

Thanks for your message I was forced off of my pain meds a couple of years ago far too much to explain, I complained about him he hit back by dropping the amount of valium I was on and he new that it would make me have seizures just like when I tried to slowly come off. Ive been thrown out of that doctors surgery because I am sewing him for doing this it's made my fibro so much worse 

Hi Adz. That's awful what happened, but please don't go into it as I get the picture. Some doctors can do more harm than good - fortunately it doesn't happen too frequently, but good luck with your endeavours.

Personally, I don't think you should be deprived of anything that can alleviate pain. My elder brother's condition causes him extensive pain but he takes morphine and even that doesn't help much, leaving him with endless sleep issues, so I can sympathise with you.

How are you feeling today my lovely? Offload here if it helps, even a rant is acceptable as you'll find no judgement from us. Big hugs xxx
