Depression. Cancer

Hii Doreen, Luppie. I am so so sorry you're feeling tearful and in such a dark place at the moment. Cancer is the toughest thing ever and naturally it's getting on top of you. I think so many of us feel this way or have done at one point or another on our journey.

It's so important that you keep talking when you feel like this. Don't bottle anything up and remember to be kind to yourself and it's ok to cry. I do a lot of crying, it's a fab release ️

It might be worth talking to your GP or seeing if your nurse can put you in touch with someone who can help you with these feelings. It's really important that you don't go through this alone, I tried when I was 16 and it was disastrous! So please please do reach out for help if you need to. There's no shame in that.

And do please keep talking here. There are so many lovely people here who will help support you during these difficult times️ myself included.

Please take care and I hope you start to feel better soon xxx

Sending you so much love and hugs,

Jess xx

Thank you so much Jess you are so kind especially when you have problems yourself and are so young.

It's good days and bad days .

Last night was a bad night.

I am going to take my wee dog Fern out for a short walk shortly which will help.

Had a few complications after my mastectomy and in a bit of pain.

See oncologist on Thursday so next stage starting.

Love Doreen x ️ 

Hii Doreen, I think you are so lovely. Your showing so much bravery, strength and positivity right now ️ you should be really proud of yourself. I'm proud of you! We're all in this terrible journey together and I'll always be by your side if you need me.

You are so right, good and bad days. I try to enjoy the good days and try to ride out the bad ones. It's not always easy I know. Try to take them one step at a time. Xx

I'm so sorry last night was bad. How are you feeling today? Better I hope. Hugs! x

Is Fern in your pic? He/she looks absolutely adorable! What a cutie!! ️ I hope you both enjoy your walk!

I am so sorry to hear you're having complications. That's got to be tough. Have you called your nurse for pain relief? Remember they are there to help so if you need them be sure to call. I'm always pestering mine XD

Sending you all the best of luck for Thursday! ️

Love Jess xx

Thank you.

My dog is a wee girl.

It's just her and I she brings me great joy  xx

Awww she is such a cutie!! ️️️ 

I'm glad she brings you so much joy! Sounds like fab company for you as well. I love the companionship pets bring. Never time to get lonely with them around

Hugs,

Jess xx

Hi Luppie, just wanted to catch up with you and see how you got on at the oncology appointment hon.   I do hope you've now got a plan to move forward with positive thoughts.  Live the picture of your Fern, looks very cuddly x

I started chemo yesterday .

At 9pm i felt very sick then got up at 3am to be sick.

Hoping this will pass x

Poor you Luppie, that's a miserable way to feel.  You did get the anti-sickness meds before having the chemo hon?  Hopefully it was just worse as it was your first time and also you must have been so nervous.  if ever there was a night to sleep through that was it!

so I guess you had your meeting with the oncologist and the plan is chemo? for how long?  is your oncologist a kind and sympathetic person?      If the sickness stays put please don't suffer in silence, you must contact your chemo nurses/breast specialist nurse etc to get more help ie; change of antiemetics and possibly small dose of loraz?

i know I hate feeling sick most of all, felt like that this am so went back to bed, I'm having immunotherapy and thankfully nausea isn't one of the side effects just things like adrenal shutdown!

I really hope you are over the sickness by now and fingers crossed it won't recur.  Chemo is such a toxic medication to the entire system but you'll get through this I know with strength and courage and with your lovely dog beside you all the way.   love and a huge hug to you xx
