After Effects and coping with it

First off, sounds like disability discrimination re your losing your job. It's now covered by  the Equalities  act but still means in effect you can't be sacked for such a reason. You could follow this up if you wanted to. The helpline will have more info on it 0808 808 0000, 8am to 8pm and can also give advice more generally re financial issues

.You're doing the right thing in terms of dealing with the after effects. ,eg complementary  therapy can be very beneficial n relaxing. Have you asked your GP re meds for any of the other symptoms or you could post the question to " Ask a nurse" on here.

As for fatigue, you might find it useful to  pace yourself, ie if you have a busy/ stressful day, the next day aim to chill. Not  too much  for too many days on the trot. Been there, got the t shirt!

Btw, you might want to post this in  the Life after cancer group too.You may get more response/ support there  x

I do appreciate that I've given you information overload but I hope that you find the links of interest do have a look at them and ask questions or obtain printed copies of the booklets and information or download them if you prefer.

But you can't beat a good old natter with others and here as part of the online community or as I call it the Mac family you can come into any of the groups and have a Cancer chat forum with your fellow members, share your experiences with others and they will share theirs, you can start your own discussions or simply join into the current one, everyone you will meet will be very friendly and they are extremely supportive towards each other and will give you help and advice but there's more (isn't there always!) if you're feeling down and low and need to have a moan about life, let off steam or just have a rant or rave the Mcmillans groups are you place to come to where you never will be judged as I mentioned earlier we are just a big happy family that look out for each other.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on and I look forward to seeing you in some of the groups in the near future.

Kind regards 

Ian
