Hi , just wanted to wish you well for your Chemo today. Thought I would send a little friend to sit with you today........
LP will sit and chat with you while the Chemo does its thing! He's getting quite the little expert! Hope all goes well Hun! Xxxx
Early hours of Wednesday morning and another troubled night even though it is cooler. I went to my first funeral since diagnosis of a friend's wife who died from breast cancer. It has really unsettled me. In addition, a friend has been told that he has 3 months to a year left (tumours in his lung and liver). Very tearful with sadness for them and their loved ones but also for myself even though I am responding well to treatment. Feel thrown off course and dont know what to do except come on here!
Awwwww , it's so hard isn't It? Losing someone is never easy, but add into that the emotions you are already dealing with and it just feels overwhelming! I know I've been there as have a log of others on here. So obviously you'll hope we have all the answers on how to make you feel better........sorry Hun but no! I wish I did. But this is something that you will slowly work through, you need to allow yourself to feel however you feel, no emotions, thoughts or feelings are wrong, it's how you feel and how you are processing things! All that I can say is that it does get easier!
Right now you need to be a bit selfish and concentrate on you! You need to get through your treatment, get yourself well again so you have the strength to help your friend, if you feel you want to be involved with that! I don't mean that to sound horrid, but if you can't deal with it right now it's okay to take a step back. You can still be involved without getting too close to what's happening!
Now I think it's time for.....
You WILL get through this Hun. We are all here to listen xxxxx
I am in a similar situation with a friend who’s incurable and his prognosis isnt very good at all. Its hard to deal with that and the treatment your undergoing. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a break because sadly we cant cope with too much. Our brains will struggle to cope with everything and it gets overwhelming. I am glad to hear your treatment is going well and you in a good place for now, when we hear about our friends or family also dealing with cancer but their prognosis is bad it does shake us to the core, as we then imagine our own mortality and also some feel some kind of survivors guilt too, because we care and love them we don’t want to see them go thought it..I am sure your friend is very greatful for the support and i am sure they know this is hard for you too. But I wanted to send you some positive thoughts your way and lots hugs and encouragement for you and your friend.
