Struggling today

That’s how I felt for op .. and I feel the same for my chemo relax now and sleep well xx

Yes Hattie it sure does. X

Hi Seashelly and Hattie, agree the relief to know what's happening is just so reassuring. I am also looking forward to the op as hopefully it will be totally successful and if at worst chemo is needed it will bei just another tool to get rid of this awful disease.. Knowing  that there are others out there in a similar position is such a fantastic support, thank you all for your support. Xxx

I feel the same, it’s been amazing having you all here for support xxx

Hi All 

I have been watching this thread but unable to comment due to ‘technical issues’ 

Seashelley and Chelmarsh we seem to be on a similar path.  My Dx in my profile but I had a colon resection 10 days ago and am  still awaiting histology results ( once tumour and nodes removed I have found the anxiety drops a few notches ;) ) 

I left hospital early Day 5 and am considering going back to 2-3 days of light work duties next week  ( about day 18) 

good luck for both your operations …. Day 2 I found a little grotty but you feel yourself getting stronger day by day after that. I’m still on LFNO diet  atm but have  cheated a couple of times with no ill effects 

here’s hoping for good results all round. 

Hi Parky2170 thank you so much for sharing, amazing that only after day 18 you feel strong enough to do light work duties :-) 

wishing you all the luck for your histology results, I’m now looking forward to getting the next step done on Wednesday! 

Please keep us posted on your results, it’s been amazing that we can connect with people going through the same journey, very comforting. 

Ive decided I’m putting my Christmas tree up tomorrow to get a bit sparkle in my life for when I’m home lol 

Thank you again x 

Hi Parky 2170, many thanks for your good wishes, fingers crossed for us all x

Hi Seashelly, bet your Christmas tree will be the best it's ever been. Keep u posted on how you are doing. Fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you and you, I’ll keep you updated after my op and let you know how it went xx 

Do everything you need to heavy lifting wise prior to going in for your Op. Xmas tree sounds a great idea and  very cheery 

Do a big food shop you’ll need to keep away from nuts, seeds, vege skins and fibre etc 

Maybe make some meals/ soups etc and freeze ahead  … buy in some fruit juice smoothies etc
