Bowel cancer carers, family and friends chat

Hi Amy sofas seem much bigger when they get to your house but how annoying not being able to get it in. We once had to have a window removed to get one in. Yea it doesn’t seem to take much to get me going these days!!

hugs all round x

You are both stressed about different things. Unless the stress and anxiousness is causing weight loss there must be something else. My tummy churns all the time and that does not help. I am just stressed all the time. Put it this way I was very petite anyway but now under 6 stone and this has all happened since his diagnosis. I am going to ask the doctor for shakes.  I am eating.  Hugs to all xx

Hello Ladies! 

How are you all?? Been reading your posts and it really does just sound as if we are all in the same boat. I had another `meltdown` yesterday which has prompted me to go for more counselling. I've signed on to NHS24 DBI programme telephone counselling over a two week period. I've had this before and it was really good for me but i've really been struggling a bit more recently with hubby's sepsis diagnosis and plus the beast that is cancer is still there. Just one of those days yesterday where nothing went right and I just did not have energy to do just about anything except sit and cry for most of the day. Take Care all.

Crikey you are fading away and need to get some help, I know it’s easier said than done. Palliative doctor didn’t ring but gp did and said we have to talk about DNR. That is hard to take.then this led onto my husband telling me and our son he doesn’t want a funeral. Just to be taken and cremated, no service or anything. Maybe I need to be having some counselling now as it feels like too much. He is adamant he wants to continue with chemo but not sure oncologist will let him. Will see next week, I don’t know if they can say no to him or what - will just have to wait. I’m just having a cuppa before I start to wake him and get him dressed as he can’t really do anything himself now - it’s a long day.  Love to you all x

Morning I have just looked up the NHS 24 thing you mentioned and see it’s only in Scotland so will have a look for a the equivalent in England.  At the moment it’s good to be on here and vent or talk about your fears and as you say we seem to be in the same boat. We just have to try to keep going. Take care and I hope you have a better day x

Honestly it's such a palava! I have re ordered from a different company so fingers crossed! 

Hope you are doing ok today xxx

Hi xx

I hope.today is a better day. I had a down day yesterday too! I feel so angry sometimes..how can this be happening to a 41 year old, good person, taking our futurefrom us...its so unfair to all it affects. I know its now good to dwell but sometimes it sneaks up and gets me...

Sending big hugs to all you warrior ladies today
