Just need to talk to like minded people

No one unless they’ve been through it can possibly understand!! The pain, discomfort, grim surprise round every corner, never knowing how you’re going to feel each day, constant tablet taking (I now have a spreadsheet!) and above all, the mind bringing you back to reality with thoughts that you have to try and push aside. My neighbour who has been through chemo etc is a great source of comfort and understands my moments of high emotion. We’re all here for each other xxx

1. Hi Mummy.M  it is hard chemo in all its forms just wrecks your body the big problem we all have is different drug regimes seem to affect us differently I did a lot better on EC than I am on pax-carb and our family's just want life to get back to normal so when they see you coping I guess relax a bit I sure they don't mean to upset though and if they are like mine will jump to and try and help the minute you say I feel rubbish we are sometimes our own worst enemy though and keep going putting on a happy face when we feel awful because we want to do the most we can the thing I find hardest is the strangers or people who you know who you don't see that often always seem to start conversations with your looking well as though you are only ill if you look haggared I hope your feeling a bit better today but remember you are allowed to have bad days cancer sucks and chemo makes you better by making you ill so you have so much going on it's going to get you down sometimes sending hugs xxxD
