I went for my 1st appointment with the oncologist yesterday. My treatment starts 18th July and because treatment can't be targetted they are throwing everything at me immunotherapy and chemo (for which I am grateful).

However for the 1st time yesterday it was mentioned that there was a spread to lymph nodes and I also have to go to Breast Clinic on 23rd as there might be something there as well

I am trying so hard to be optimistic but am finding it very difficult, as there seems to be another obstacle around every corner. I just hope I don't have really severe side effects from the treatment and that something can be controlled.

Am I the only wimp around here or is the way I feel totally normal? Everyone else seems so brave and positive. I am usually the one doing the inspiring and it's so hard being on the other end, so to speak.

Sorry to be so depressing.

One day at a time is the only way forward. That's what I am striving for at the moment. Thank you for helping put my feelings into some sort of 'normal' Have a good day hope you stay coolish. xxx

Good morning JD, I can only say what everyone else is saying. I was diagnosed with incurable cancer in September last year so relatively new for me too. It is so hard and being positive is tiring and impossible to do all the time. We need to give ourselves a break and it is normal to feel sad, angry, hurt and lonely. Someone said on here , it is like a cloudy day, the clouds will pass and the sun will shine again. At least on here we are safe to say exactly what we want and know everyone will understand. So good luck for your first treatment and your appointment on 23. Sending you hugs.
