Not good enough

Being diagnosed with cancer is very hard and the horrible feelings never leave us.  Only someone who has gone through it can truly understand.

I am sure the whole world is not against you (although it can feel like it).  Have you tried counselling?  I haven't done yet but I think I will when I have finished chemo and I am thinking of going back to work - people say it's really helpful. 

I am half way through an amazing book called "Getting up when life knocks you down - 5 steps to overcoming a life crisis".  I am finding reading very therapeutic. Also, try surrounding yourself with positive people. 

Where have you got to in terms of treatment so far?

I'm on my 2nd cycle of chemotherapy and waiting for radiotherapy.I feel exhausted and have no appetite whatsoever and just feel like everyone's against me.Its true only those who are going through it truly know how it makes you feel.My kids keep me going but trying to stay positive for them can be exhausting 

Hi Radar12,

Please give yourself a break, you don't have to stay positive all the time, it's unachievable. No wonder you're so tired and on top of the exhausting treatment. Can I ask, what do you mean that you feel everyone is against you. In what way are they making you feel like this?
