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.
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.
