Moving on

Hi Sweetpea 

I hope your doing ok, it’s awful when a reaction occurs, yet another spanner in the works, grrr damn you cancer ( shakes fist) but your so right with regards in what your saying ! It is about doing what you want x on this journey we as the cancer person have such little control over so much but control can come with just doing what makes you feel good, what makes you smile, what you want to do for you, for example it’s a beautiful day out there, autumnal sunshine, crispy leaves I should be out there soaking up the wonder of it all ( so they say)but me pffttt I’m lounging in bed, dog at my side in my tatty pyjamas eating crips listening to the radio , I’m a petulant child today and no! I will do what I want lollll  :op it’s just something I can control x with regards to your treatment reaction ( something you cannot control) take heart in knowing there will be a solution so in the meantime sweet, just take control, do what you like and keep on keeping on x take care and big hugs x 

Hi Sweet21Pea I am sorry to hear this news about your reaction and hospital visit. Hopefully this situation will point them in the right direction for an alternative treatment plan. I started my treatment on Wednesday and havnt felt like going for my usual walks and am just putting it down  to the immunotherapy treatment. As I pointed out to my daughter I only finished my chemo in June so I am going to take it handy and do nothing. You take it easy and rest , apparently that's the best medicine . All the Best Minmax 

Hi Sweet21Pea, Please let us know how your first chemo went. Well, no one in their right mind would want to climb mountains and run marathons in weather like this! Try to take it one day at a time and don’t get ahead of yourself. We all here have had to Move On and accept there are things we used to do regularly we may never do again. If you have a positive attitude, which is not easy under the circumstances, then you may find other things to do. I do jigsaws online and read a lot more than I ever found time to before. I have also just started to learn how to crochet. I can knit quite well but had never learned to crochet. Also I love my iPad as I can get lost in it. It is early days for you but I am sure you will find things are not as bad as they seem!

Hi anndanv thank you for your comments first Chemo I thought was ok however it turned out it badly affected my fluid levels so had to spend 3 days in hospital. This turned out to be a positive thing as I had a lovely lady next to me in the ward and the nurses it was reassuring and gave me a little boost that this life isn't that scary. 

Sending hugs x
