Feeling tired and sad today

Hi Red robin101 welcome to the forum and I am so sorry to read about how you are feeling. It is still very early in the recovery process for you and you are still undergoing active treatment so its all a bit of a whirlwind for you I imagine and its ok to feel sad and its ok to cry so dont be too hard on yourself about that..

I know from experience that my husband took his lead from me if I was ok then he was ok and so on so maybe thats whats happening for your family but Im sure they would be fine if you weren't ok and had  cry.

Is there something you are sad about?  I know that may be a stupid question given what you have and are going through, but is that what is making you sad or is it something else? 

As for the eating and drinking I dont know what is best except that it is best to keep yourself as well as you can be by eating and drinking sensibly to keep your stamina up and given what you are going through If you feel like eating something that is possibly not the best just have it anyway, in moderation its not going to do any harm and may make you feel more like eating.

Sending some hugs your way for now. xxxxx

Hi Gail

Nothing can prepare you and everyone is so different but it is all so overwhelming. 

I am literally crying over silly things, nothing specific. Everyone is so patient with me. I know in a few days it will pass

My husband and sons are truly amazing and I’d be lost without them

Im trying to eat and drink what I can to maintain my strength 

It’ll pass, it’s just rubbish at the moment

Thank you for your hugs they are so appreciated

Staying strong

Hi Wendy, I’m very similar to you emotionally. I find myself very tearful most of the time. I too have an amazing partner but I know he finds it difficult to see me this way and so I do try to hide it. I’m currently in the third week of my second dose of TC chemotherapy. Feel free to read my profile. I know a lot of us find the emotional side of things quite difficult but it’s very natural especially whilst going through Chemotherapy as it can wreak havoc on our hormones.

Take Care

Hi Janine

thank you for your support. 

I’ve just done my third session of EC chemo, one more before I start 4 x paclitcixel. Normally I get light nausea and some aches and pains but nothing like I’m feeling this time. 

I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day

sending best wishes
