Struggling

Hi Daniels

I agree with everyone above. You are at the most difficult time of your life. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time and care to absorb such shocking news.

The psychological impact and struggle can be greater than the physical aspects. Seek support and help where needed, your CNS should able to refer you. 

Overtime , you will able to live well with cancer and its treatments. People here are very supportive and will hold you up along the way.

Take care Stella 

Hi Stella, I am not often lost for words but I am now. I was lucky with my parents, even though my mum was a bit distant and had mental health issues which I did not even know about until adulthood. What a blessing it is that we can talk about everything now. Funny that we still love our parents no matter how cruel they are. Maybe we should rethink.

I hope you get over your fatigue soon and can carry on as normal.

Think we're in the wrong thread but who cares

Thank you for your words of encouragement. xx

Thank you for your kind words Patrick. At least I am lucky to have my mum whoa I am close with. X

Hi J Daniels and a warm but belated welcome from me. I have been on holiday for the last two weeks between Scarborough and Filey, I live in Scotland so the weather was much hotter than home but the water was terrible! It is the first time we have been on holiday where we did not have access to WiFi or the Internet! When we go on holiday, I do try not to be on the Internet all the time but it is a whole different thing when there is no choice!

I do hope things are not as bad as you think but you won’t know for sure until you talk to your oncologist on Wednesday. I along with others here went straight to Stage 4 incurable and no Chemo or Radiation Therapy works for my type of cancer. I pleaded with my oncologist to find me anything I could try and she did. It is why I am still here today having passed my sell by date years ago and I am not alone, there are quite a few of us still here much to the delight of my oncologist, my family and myself. Never give up and try not to say “What if” or look up Google as their statistics are well out of date! Please let us know what Plan of Action your oncologist has for you!

Hi Annette hope your well. Had problems signing in, passwords loads so I gave up, but I'm back. Think its my divices. Still cancer free yay. 9 month now. Had a few mental issues along the way but OK now. I do hope you and your Vince had a good holiday. Take care lovely. XX

Hi J Daniels, well I see all the guys have jumped on to welcome you. I was told in 2019 incurable but treatable, I was on immunotherapy  once a month given 12 to 18 months, bowel cancer mets to various places. I'm now cancer free 9 months and couldn't believe it. What I'm saying is at the end of the day there is always HOPE,  be kind to yourself. If you need to let off steam come on here and vent, we all have, over the last 5 years I have often, talk to Macmillan support team, ask your cancer nurse to arrange counselling if needs be. Stay in touch and let us know what the plan is for you. Your not alone on here. XX

Sorry J. Daniels for hijacking your thread

Moi2

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I have already been advised to ask if there are any trials I can be put forward for and your story seems to confirm that it is worth it. Thanks again xxx

No worries Moi2 as long as my thread helps people connect I have no problem at all with it. xx
