I can't reply to your posts. I phoned my chemo ward & they told me to speak to the pharmacist when im in next week.

I'm afraid that this forum & the lovely members has become impossible for me to use. I cannot ask anything any more. Both of us are fatigued, we are not eating properly. 

  • Hi Coojee, so very sorry to hear of the issues the forum has put in your path. Hopefully it can son be sorted. And that you can get enough nourishment from easy food and snacks for now. I find oats very comforting when I'm struggling, I got some fine oatmeal and make a spoonful up with milk as drinking consistency porridge. Also excellent to help sleep in my experience. I sometimes add drinking chocolate or bits of chocolate bar for a sugar fix. Before I got the fine oatmeal I would grind porridge oats in my coffee grinder.

    With warm thoughts, Denby

    Thank you Dency

    We have organic oats & my wife has got us off refined sugar, so I'm short of chocs! We are both fatigued all the time now.

  • Hang on in there. Fatigue is normal with the stress you are both under. If you like dark chocolate (85%), that is an OK treat. Thinking of you.

  • I heard on Radio 4 only this week that dark chocolate is positively good for you. Be kind to your selves, you are living through a tough time. Maybe seek some distraction from mindless tv or beautiful music? Dive into a book? Today a buzzard came and sat above me in a tree, lifted my heart. We're here for you. xxx

    Thank you I have emailed hotel Chocolat to ask if they use refined sugar. No answer yet. My wife sees refined sugar as feeding the cancer.

    Today she told me she has a lump in her breast.

    We live in the Highlands. The most wonderful birds soar over our house every morning. The Red kite. They are so beautiful they give me tears.

  • Oh my Coojee. No wonder she is in a state. How soon can you get her onto the path of getting it checked out?

    Continuing to think of you, Denby
