Bowel cancer carers, family and friends chat

I see the doctor on Thursday and she suggested it 2 weeks ago and I have decided to see one. I really do not have anyone to talk to. Daughter just breaks down and she has 2 small children. Love ️ to all dealing with this terrible disease xx

It's certainly worth trying, I really find it helps and mine gives me ways to try and cope with the feelings I have 

Xxx

I am going to try it and hopefully it helps. Thank you all. It is raining now.  I hope to see the grandchildren soon as we have presents and Easter eggs for them.  Hugs to all xx

• Seems like we are all dealing with a lot with our husbands. Have managed to get out for a lovely walk with him in wheelchair and our daughter who is a godsend, and bought some cakes etc and are having  a little afternoon tea at home now as it’s pouring down outside. Slept like logs lastnight after our day at the hospital. Think my husband thinks he can just go on and everything will be ok while I am dreading what’s coming inside and could cry at the drop of a hat. Nurse coming again in the morning and doctor phoning in afternoon. They keep asking if we need carers but he says no we can manage!! Don’t think he realises how hard it is more me doing everything!! Never mind folks keep up the good work xx

They don’t realise we need support mentally and physically but pleased you both got out for a walk. You must be shattered. Keep us updated and sending you strength hugs xx

Thanks distraught it’s a pity we could have a group face to face meeting and a good moan!! One of our friends husbands has volunteered to husband sit one afternoon this week so I can meet up with his wife. We have been good friends for a very long time at each others weddings etc and they have been dropping off magazines and chocolates to cheer us up so looking forward to a couple of hours respite later in the week. Sometimes it’s hard to try and organise time out with all appointments etc etc. so will make the most of it. Hope you all can get a bit of time to yourselves this week because we certainly need it ladies xx take care

It is a pity we could not have a group meeting. I am a little panicky now when I go out even with hubby in case he is poorly. Enjoy your time out as you deserve it.  I hate this feeling and it frightens me.  Hugs to all xx

Well woke up this morning full of anxiety and heightened when I weighed myself. Hubby has just taken his last four pills for a week before bloods and if okay then chem infusion and tablets for another two weeks. Gosh I hope this is working. Even writing this makes my tummy churn. I hope you lovely ladies are coping.  The sun is out today.  Have a bit of ironing to do. Hubby has got dressed and is up.  Just hoping for a better day. Love and hugs to all you troopers  xx

Morning have you lost a lot of weight distraught? I find I’m eating rubbish all the time. Had nurse today and doctor on the phone so have to go collect shake drinks to try to build him up. Have changed his stoma twice today already and have given him time meds to slow it down a bit. Very windy outside but sunny but won’t be out. Someone hit our car in a bakery car park yesterday with him in it while I was getting some stuff and drove off without stopping!!  It’s so annoying and I’m furious about it. Anything else that could go wrong at the mo!! Let’s hope we all get some better news soo n x

Hi Ladies

Torry, that.is so.infuriating about your car! Why are people so rude, I feel I am much less tolerant of awful people at the moment. 

I'm working at home today and had a load of stress with a sofa delivery (that they couldn't fit in in the end) so got very stressed about that!

Sending you all a big hug

XxAmy
