Feeling strange and Leo

Hi Nigel,I’m glad to hear Leo’s samples are clear what a worry for you and Mrs Nigel when he was so ill.Sorry you are feeling a bit lost,I hope a trip to Maggies helps.love Jane xx

Good news about Leo, our dogs are our rock in hard times. xx Hope you can get some rest over the weekend. Maggie's next week sounds a perfect plan. Take care of yourself Nigel, you've been through a lot. Love Hx

Thank you Jane, I think I’ve forgotten how to relax…

Cheers H, like I said to Jane, I think I’ve forgotten how to relax…for the past couple of years I’ve been blinkered in my thinking around the BCG, im sure Maggies can sort me out…

It can be hard at times can’t it ? I’m much better at it than I used to be but have times when it’s hard to unwind.Take care xx

I think I’m very tired as well Jane…I’ll get back to my headspace app…

Hi Rob R,

I think I can understand how you feel as I had to stop my post-cystectomy monthly immunotherapy after 3 sessions only. I was at a loss then for a while, even though it was the right decision because the side effects were getting worse. I still felt it was a minor defeat or something.

And I felt a little more strange when the quarterly oncology reviews moved back to six-monthly, after 2 years. 

It's quite comforting to be in a routine after being diagnosed with cancer, I think. And we certainly do enjoy the attention, and feel a bit lonely after all the bustle ends.

I can't recall now how long afterwards I found I had acclimatised to the new normal - just realised I had one day. So I know you'll probably feel like that too. 

All the best,

Latestart

Thank you Latestart, just had a nap and feel better for it…Im sure I’ll be fine in a couple of days…xx

Great news about Leo.

Don't beat yourself up on having to stop the BCG course. I spoke to my consultant last week as I'm moving Trusts and he mentioned it does happen. I was happy to get to 18.

He wasn't concerned at all and I've gone to Flexi instead of biopsies. 

If I do get a reoccurrence then I'll cross that bridge. 

You've done amazing over the last couple of years and you've had a lot to deal with.

Enjoy your break from the flex's.

Cheers Trevor mate…time to relax if I can…hope you’re well mate.
