New here, can't sleep. Trying to work out how this chat works.
I'm sorry. We had a power cut courtesy of the storm so no internet. I hope you're asleep again.
You're very welcome to this group. Do you want to tell us something about your current situation? Ask any questions you like? Express any feelings? Most days someone will be around to help, chat or simply listen. Hopefully you will discover the support that most contributors here have found and appreciated because all being ( or have been) in a similar situation we can share difficulties, empathise and most importantly understand.
I think the heat ( and possibly more areas with lost power) may have led to a quiet night on the airways.
If you want to find someone for a chat.....click on the chat heading and go to the Awake thread. There's often someone about there.
Take care. Keep in touch.
Love Karen
Thank you so much Karen. First night after getting bad news. HER2 P, they are hoping to shrink it down with Chemo and then see if they can operate. Awaiting CT results, MRI showed swollen node and in muscle tissue. So anxious it's overwhelming, have always had health anxiety so wondering how to cope. Wonderful partner looking after me. Will go to the awake thread when I can't sleep.
