New to forums

Welcome Liz, to the bit of the forum where nobody wants to be. You rant away and get it all off your chest. You'll find support and understanding here as well as a lot of oddball humour. Lots of assorted cancers here and often there will be others on the same treatment you can compare notes with, but the thing is that nobody knows how long we each have - and it's just a guess as far as the doctors are concerned. So many things can change: new treatments; a clinical trial to go on etc. There are people here who have gone way past their 'sell-by-date' as we call it. So keep that chin up.

Here's a hug to be going on with.

Hi Rainie

Thanks so much. Im already glad I joined. Even just reading a few other stories has been surprisingly comforting if thats the right word. It'll take me a while to figure out how the forum thing works but i'll get there xx

Liz, if you click onto your profile, you can fill in details of your cancer and treatments there. Others on here will be able to read this and know where you are with it all. This saves you having to repeat yourself. If you click on my avatar, you can read my profile and then you'll see how it works.

Hi so sorry you have had to join this group, though you will be made to fill very welcome.

Great bunch of people, and we all support each other, when ever we can, or when it is needed, and we all need support, and understanding of what a person, is going threw,

We where all new once, and know how that person fills, it is a hard journey we are all on, it i a roller coaster that has, so many twists and turns, ups and downs, and we have to go with it, in the best possible way,

You can say what ever is on your mind, and no one will judge you, we laugh, scream, rant, moan all part of being  human.

Like Raine others will come along, you are never alone, i can assure you of that, xxxx

Thankyou Ellie

Its definately a roller coaster but at least we are all on the ride together

Sending hugs your way xxx

Hi Liz39,

          Welcome to the group, everyone here are really welcoming as I found. I to am suffering from the dreaded rectal cancer, I was diagnosed in January this year and diagnosed as incurable have had stoma fitted which has eased things and just had my fourth course of chemotherapy. I am having a scan on 9th May with result appointment on 23,rd May. 

   I am living every day to the full make sure I have a laugh every day. 

  We are all here if you need us.

I have a peaceful easy feeling.

Hi Benji79

I also have a bag nearly a year now, how are you finding it? Sending lots of positive vibes your way for your scan. I find waiting on scan results so frustrating

I am getting used to it , I did struggle at first had a couple of accidents with the help of the stoma team at the hospital I have sorted it and got over the stigma of having it.

            Thank you for the positive vibes, I know I can't beat it but I'm going to have fun fighting ,I have a fantastic family and group of friends who keep me occupied.

        Sending you positive vibes for your journey for your treatment.

Peaceful easy feeling.

1. Welcome Liz you are in the right place! There’s lots of support for one another. It took me a while to join in the sometimes crazy humour but we are all free to be REAL. Just pike it on what you feeling and thinking.
