Not completely ready to dive right in but appreciate the support I have seen in this group for a little while so taking tentative steps to posting for now, I have stage 4 incurable cancer, treatable but learning slowly what that means x

  • Thank you again, hope your day goes well x

  • Hi GreenH,  just another welcome from me.  I live in the Midlands and was diagnosed in September last year.  This forum has been a life saver for me.  Welcome.

  • Morning GreenH, your very welcome, and that's what we are all here for, to help each other, and great to hear you had a lovely day yesterday with your pals, I had a day at the coast with my middle daughter ant of my youngest daughters girls, which was wonderful, but need to rest today lol, that dark cloud is never far away but you do learn to live with it, for the most part. I hope you have something nice to do today too.

  • Thank you, stage 4 from day 1 was an unimaginable shock as I'm sure it was for you, grateful for your understanding x

  • I am so glad u glimpsed a little of light out of the dark place we all visit from time to time.

    I had a dark blip yesterday and find it difficult to get motivated today

    I've made a small list of jobs to do..and if I do wake up tomorrow down in the dumps I know I can snuggle into my blanket and brood or sleep knowing I have vacuumed and mopped today 

    Take one day at a time my friend...the support here is amazing

    Hugs and love and sunshine in ur day

  • Thank you Gilpat, so many kind and encouraging messages, I'm in a brighter spot today and ready to be a more active member of the group x

  • Thank you Fleabane, I am sorry to hear you are having a down spell and hope it lifts soon., My day like yours is starting with some chores, which I hope to get done so that I can sit in the sunshine later. Hope the sun is shining with you xx

  • Hi GreenH

    I was given the incurable diagnosis last year. I was certainly in a very dark place.However, joining this forum and friends here really helped me. I came to accept my diagnosis and learned to live the best I can along side cancer. It took sometime, but I would say cancer won’t dominate you. It is just like dark clouds/ storm. It will come and go but the blue sky is always here. 

    Talk to you soon.

  • That’s a brilliant way of looking at things  Heart

    I dreamt I was back in my “old life” last night and woke up feeling very down but re-focused my thoughts and can see some blue sky again . Enjoy your spa today

  • Thank you Stella for your thoughtful words. My diagnosis was in February, I was very practically minded at first, busy sorting out everything, attending appointments etc, but now things have sort of settled it is a challenge to not let my mind drift. The sunshine has helped in recent days as does keeping as busy as possible.

    Looking forward to learning from you all as we navigate this journey, you have helped me so much already.

    Enjoy your spa day Stella and Lucy sorry your day didn't start so well, glad you have your night away to look forward to.

    I don't think I have explained yet that my cancer is endometrial by pathology but location and spread is more like ovarian. I am part way through chemo course awaiting interval review..
