I'm sat in bed with private tears wondering how on earth things have ended up this way.
I have 2 children (11 and 19) and in the middle of a break up. Despite always being strong and independent I now feel weak, scared and very very lonely now.
Are there others that are doing this on there own??? I'm just so disappointed and hurt that someone walked out during the hardest time. He made my life and cancer so much easier and happier.
I feel like he's taken the end of my life and ruined it- I could never do that to anyone.
Sorry .... I'm just rambling because I'm so lost today
Thank you. Its the hardest time - harder than when I was diagnosed. But forward I will go!
Hi Victoria i can understand that but it helps to talk to others who know what you are going through i too will end up at mine though i go to mine for diversional + complimentary therapy and counselling which is so important for my wellbeing. No luck finding a Maggie's near you, mine is over a hour away but still worth it, I used to do coffee mornings i was always the youngest and only man so had to stop for my own safety, LOL,

Victoria, noticed your post on another forum, lots of problems so lots of forums. Flying if you go Macmillan's home page and type, cancer and flying, hopefully it will help, also you should have clinical nurse specialist, you can try your hospital department or call PALS, patient advice and liaison service at the hospital, take care,

Ellie no one could say it better. Everyday can be a lonely one living with this as you say we all need an on off switch. Victoria i am so sorry to read of the struggle you are having. Sending you a big hug. xx
Thank you Eddie - I'll look into your advice. Have a good day x
Thanks Eddie . I'd love to find a weekly coffee club with others in this situation and just to get out the house! Thank you x
Good idea Victoria what part of the country are you? There are no centres or group where i live in east northamtonshire. x
