Hi all
I only messaged last week as I was feeling a bit down. But felt like I had to again today, I want to message my friends to say how I'm feeling but can't bring myself to! So I have two dates now, one for the CT scan, one for the colonoscopy and awaiting a blood test form so I can book that. Today has been busy and a bit frustrating at work, so got home, led down and cried it all out. As well as those appointments I also have one for my eye in just over a week, as I started to have treatment in 2010 for conjunctival melanoma, so from all the chemo drops it's obviously damaged my eye as well as helping it. Anyway just came here to let off steam. 'c' can f off!! Have a good bank holiday everyone!! X
I'm sorry you're struggling but so good that you came here to vent.
I find it extremely difficult to admit negative feelings even to my closest friends and family. I cling to the "brave face" mask that I wear.
But it's so important to let yourself have those feelings even if it is home alone or on a virtual forum. Well done.
I hope things start to get easier for you.
