I was supposed to recieve my last scheduled chemotherapy today, but I'm neutropenic and so have been delayed. Last time I was delayed and enjoyed the break but this time it has really knocked me for six. My chemotherapy is palliative, so just intended to give me more time, and so far I have had very little pain. So I know I am lucky, but I feel so sad today, not sure how to deal with it.
I read so many posts on here with so many of you dealing with much more than I am having to so far with so much fortitude. I am glad to be able to be a part of this group.
Hi TVman, So sorry to read this. I hope things will improve before you have your appointment. Best to hope for the best and don't make things worse by worrying and I know it is easier to say than do. Take it One day at a time! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I will pray a bit harder until your appointment.
I have appointment with Dermatology this Wednesday and am a bit concerned about a lesion on my leg, so I will hope for the best and prepare myself for the worst. Not told the family yet as no point worrying them about it until I know either way! The following week I see the Liver Professor! As Ruth said in a different post, at least I'm getting out the house! Lol!
Salis, glad you had a good Sunday and things are looking up!
Love Annette x
Thanks for the support, I'm thinking about you a lot too and hope you can get that lesion checked out on Wednesday. Good luck for that Annette, I'll have everything crossed for you.
I understand why you aren't telling the family, I don't either for the same reason. It's a worrying time for both of us.
Take care and stay safe Annette

I hope you’ll get better news on Friday tvman it’s a worrying time for you. I’m guessing you’ll be extra careful about easing restrictions. So many of us waiting for results/chemo/ reviews I’m ejnjoying being off the hook, you don’t realise how utterly draining it all is. Hoping everyone will get some good news xx
Thinking of so many in this group, makes me appreciate the relative health I do have, my battle recently has been more mentally, I draw strength from each and everyone of you. No matter what this week May bring, may we have the fortitude to face it, May we have the strength to take it without affecting those nearest and dearest, May we appreciate what we have and not what we’ve lost. Love you all. John
