So low and frightened. Home from surgery . Stage 4 tumour waiting for chemo and radiotherapy. Just cannot deal with it emotionally
Oh sweetie, just get through this horrible period as best you can, and don’t underestimate yourself. I won’t lie, the chemo and radio are not fun, but you will start to recover almost as soon as they’ve stopped.
I was diagnosed with a grade 4 tumour nearly 4 years ago and I’m still doing ok - nobody can say how things are going to go, even the doctors, and when you can get through this first bit you’ll be stronger, I promise you.
let us know if you have questions are just want to offload or chat - we’re all here for you xxx
Oh thank you so much for just taking the time to reply
I just feel so resentful for anyone that is around me. All telling me how brave I am
I know, because you don’t feel very brave so it doesn’t help. I think people just don’t know what to say, they’re just shocked. I found it useful to be around people who’ve had trauma of any kind, because they’re more often more open and less awkward.
do you have someone who makes you feel better?
Oh my word that is amazing !!!!!!! Thank you so much x
