On cycle 5 on weekly chemo as too much for my body to take from first 2 sessions this last one on Friday has been the worst so far for feeling sick Sat Sun and Mon only had a couple of slices of toast on those days and struggled with that keep taking the sickness meds trying to cope as best I can awful when you live in your own and so frightening as no one to shout for help in house my best friend is so supportive wants to come down and help but I said there is nothing you can do I will have to just ride it out due another chemo in Fri don't want to miss any more as have missed 3 weekly sessions all ready due to bloods not being right so I am behind already had scan results the other week and all the tumers have shrunk so consultant says the treatment is working well even though incurable I just want to prolong my quality of life for as long as I can as everyone on this site wants to sorry for rambling on as usual just needed a chatxxx

  • Hi Flippen

    Oh dear, I think I read this elsewhere, The Room maybe and I felt so sad. I've never had chemo, I know that it can be really hard for some, goodness I have read so many. 

    I have chatted with you before and I know you're alone but I also know what a wonderful friend you have, I'd say she is the mother of all friends to coin a phrase. I also know that you would have her in, in an instant but you're feeling so low that you just want to curl up and let it run its course. That's a little difficult for me to understand, Flippen, because I know how much you, and a few of us on the site, value her help, so I think if it happens again and you feel so lousy, that you should let her in and maybe hold your hand and/or stroke your head because you have a friend in a million, she's just the tonic for you to feel better and I hope you let her read this, Flippen. 

    Whatever you do, I know you'll do it for the right reason. Fantastic news that the tumours are shrinking, the chemo is working. Have you told your friend about that, because it'll be music to her ears. 

    Take care and keep those beasties at bay.
