I'm brand new to the online community and would really welcome support and advice regarding symptoms. I have just had my 3rd chemo cycle of 12 and am struggling. I have no appetite, no energy and I have light headedness and numbness. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place and I hate feeling like this.
Hi Ls mum and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the challenges you are facing….. date to say most people experience this.
Navigating the cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from others who are dealing with the ‘exact same' cancer type can help a lot and treatments used for different cancers can be rather different.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) but you don’t say what type of cancer you have but if you care to have a look through THIS LIST you will find all our many dedicated cancer support groups listed.
These groups are safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from members who are navigating the same journey.
Have a look through the list I have given you above and once you find the group for your cancer type you can join the group by selecting “Click to Join” when the black banner appears or “Join” under “Group Tools” (this all depends on the device you are using)
You can then put up your own post when you’re ready by clicking “+new” or “+” in the top right next to the group title. You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post. You can also scroll through other members posts and click “Reply” to get involved.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
