Just read your post and sounds familiar to me, I feel the same as you and wish we could have some normality back & my husband is having the dreaded side effects from chemo too but soldiers on and on 5yrs now. Our next scans will be next month after another 2 gruelling rounds of chemo.

im sending love & best wishes for a good scan result 

more hugs

Thank you Carolyn, hugs always help x

Thank you for replying Sunset  sounds like you know exactly how I feel. Mostly I can accept how things are but sometimes it just comes over me like a big wave. 

Hi elephant222

I know how you feel, my husband is in the same boat and it`s exhausting and frustrating. I hate seeing the side effects he has to go through knowing there is nothing you can do to help take that away. We too have scans next week and back in May for the results after this last round of chemo and it`s the what I call LIMBO time which sometimes I find harder to cope with as it`s the waiting to see what the last six months of treatment have done and what the next step will be.

Please don't feel sorry for yourself as I think it is perfectly normal.

Hugs x

Same here..my dad has his scan next week..but he is getting worse by the day...constant pain, sore, cracking skin, not eating, diarrhoea..I just don’t know if it’s the side effects of the chemo, or this awful disease taking it’s toll.  He’s going into a hospice on Monday hopefully to stabilise hi, and build strength up. Love and thoughts to all of you in this dreadful position xxx

No not at all, my husband diagnosed 6 years ago with stage 4 Thymic cancer, 6 years of ups more downs with neutropenia and infections following chemo then the awful lows of it hasn’t done what they hoped for so in fact back to unless any trials available we are at the end. Trials available but unfortunately his bloods have been hammered by chemo so he is not suitable candidate. So it goes on. Hang in there cos that is all you can do. The only alternative is you are at the end of the road and that is far more scary than anything else xx
