My name is Emma, I am 32 and I have an incurable brain tumour. I find that what helps me is to help others. Macmillan nurses have really helped me and I set up a fundraiser today for 2.6 to give back and help others. 

So that's my story, it would be lovely to get to know all of you.

    Yes, I will do that soon. My condition makes me very tired and unable to think straight but I will have a go now. Sadly I can't give you any details about the fundraiser because of Community rules.

  • Hi Emma,

    sorry you are having problems with your tablets I too have had to reduce dosage 

    I found the ibuprofen cream and the voltarol cream helped when I had sciatica but ibuprofen tablets upset me I find the codeine helps with headaches but I have to take antiemetics as I too get motion sickness.

    i did try turmeric but at the dose required I found it upset my stomach. But anything that helps you must be good.

    it is good you have a carer to look out for you.

    keep taking the chemo I find it helps me 

    love xxx

  • Hi Emma

    It is would be fair to say that I have a pretty positive view in life but I wish I had half your optimism.

  • Hello Emma,

    Like you I am also new to this group, but would like to wish you a warm welcome.

    I do have a different type of cancer to you,but then there are many different types of cancer on here anyway.

    I hope that you have had a good weekend.
