Back from a long break.

Just a quick message to say that I hope the brain scan doesn't show anything untoward. 

I know how depression can have such a great effect on someone's life. In March 2015 I was diagnosed with incurable cancer then before the end of the year I as much as lost the power of my legs. What a severe shock that was. Hard to overcome. I'm with ya girl.

Hi Tinalay

I've been in touch with Annetteanndanv and she is still having severe problems in accessing the site. She dearly wants to reply to you and has asked me to do so on her behalf. The next few words I have copied from her email to me:

Tinalay had written "back from a long break"  I wonder if you could let her know she will be in m ofy thoughts and I hope her scan is clear.

Pleased to have been of help, Tinalay and Annette

You're welcome, thank you. Good luck. I'm waiting to hear from the cancer unit at the hospital. My weekly treatment involves me self injecting into my legs, one leg one week then the other leg the next week and when I inject into my right leg, it's really painful. It's also more swollen than the left.

Hi Tvman,

very brave of you to give yourself a painful injection. I hope it helps the pain you are having. My headaches are quite well controlled on the zomorph and are normally above my right eye. I have started having a headache at the back of my head not sure if it is related to the mets which are behind my right eye.

i have been thinking of Daloni today and her family xx

I understand your difficulties, I also had low b12 and depression,  it was a struggle just to walk upstairs, on tablets for b12, injections to start at end of the course.  Antidepressants also working well,  I hope you get some respite quickly from the treatment 

YoungMan thank you for your understanding and encouragement. It was surprisingly difficult to admit to, considering how much personal stuff we share in the group. It's taken 4 months to find the right treatment but I've got my spark back and the energy levels are improving too. So glad to hear your treatment is working, the physical effects are just exhausting.

Means so much to me, thank you.

Indeed physical, mental and emotional effects exhausting.  Best thing for depression is admission and talking.
