Hello xx sorry beware of incoming moaning…
I’ve got muscle pain from treatment unless it’s something popping up into the cancer picture. No thanks!!
my ankle in a boot due to tendon probables, my tummy done in and sore from treatment. I feel ancient and wonder what you do on those days. Usually I go for walk and chance the scenery but I can’t do that with a sore ankle and tendonitis. I’m just fed up today of the ongoing nature of treatment and yet I know how lucky I am to be getting treatment I just don’t feel that lucky… I read stories of heroic brave people fighting cancer with optimism and here I am in a chair feeling overly sorry for myself. Im Just so over having cancer!! I realise if I was truly over it I would be dead and I don’t want that but you know what I mean. I an in awe of all of us who carry on regardless and today I can feel the weight of the diagnosis. I’m just well and truly pissed off by it today. Maybe I should watch a funny programme that might help or just wallowing for a bit and then moving on. Respect to you all for carrying on and doing your treatments and being wonderful humans in the process. It’s bloody hard sometimes. I read about new treatments and positive stories to keep going but generally the last few days i just want some time off thinking about cancer and I am not sure if i can ever get that. I read some people who talk about fact they forget about their cancer some days and I want my brain to do that but I can’t seem to do that.. can you? Any tips? Xxxx thankyou
Hiya Charley 10,
I am sure a lot of us feel at times like you do now. It is perfectly understandable that sometimes it feels like an overwhelming burden. It’s astonishing what can bring that sinking feeling on. Hopefully you will be getting a bit easier in your mind during the next few days. Just remember we are here for you as is the MacMillan Team.
My way to forget is to read. A book can always make me forget reality and takes me wherever I want to be at that time. Of course a tub of ice cream goes a long way too for lifting one’s spirit. Poison for the hips but pure gold for the soul. sending you a big hug

Charley,
We all have been down the road of searching online until the cows come home. It is not always a good place to be. Nowadays I restrict myself to the MacMillan community. Here you don’t get all the piffle some folk send over the internet. Be kind to yourself and chin up. We are here for you. Love from
Angie and sidekick Lilly xx
