Been feeling pain in my stomach over the last 2 day's...feeling really anxious about them...see the consultant in 2 weeks...feeling sickly aswell don't if this is nervous...Don't know what to do 5 week out of treatment 2mora xxx
Sorry to hear you’re in pain Nahla. Might just be anxiety, but I’d give the nurse a phone and see if she can suggest some suitable painkillers.
I did have a lot of pain too, and tried various painkillers on prescription to find something that helped a bit. And I always had a hot water bottle for my tummy. My pain was pelvic though, not my stomach. Hope you can find something to help.

Oh Nahla
Google is the worst thing ever. I bet it’s not telling you anything you want to hear, but everything you don’t want to hear. Please try not to do it. I was too scared to Google, so I kept away from it. I know you’re frightened, but Google will make it worse.
You are getting yourself deeper into that black hole, and it becomes very hard to get out of it if you only think negatively. By rights I should have died when I had my pulmonary embolism, but I never thought I would for some reason. The doctor said I should have dropped down stone dead, but I got out of the bed, got discharged and got on with my day. I kept repeating in my head “I will be fine”. Same with all the other times they told me I could die. I refused to believe it.
I wish I could help you try and feel some positivity in all of this. Please try and get some help with your anxiety, as it will destroy your mental health.

I've just been for a walk with the dog's my partner said we've done over a mile...I was complaining about my hips he said probably coz you've just laying on the bed in the dark place...so I thought got up & go for a walk with the dog's...once get in that dark place its so hard to get out...you give so much good advice to all of us...you are so positive for yrself & the ladies on hea
Means alot taking time for us xxx
Oh it is so hard to get of the dark place-I know. I am not always positive, and I have the same fears we all do. It’s natural., I worry every single day of my life that this cancer will come back, BUT I don’t let it consume me, or I wouldn’t be able to live my life-and I really want to do that!
I care about every single person I speak to in this group and elsewhere. Always. I worry about everyone! That’s amazing you did over a mile-well done!

Hi Nahla
How are you doing? I hope you were able to enjoy the Easter weekend and some nice weather. Did you get your pain sorted out?

Oh Nahla, that’s awful-I’m so sorry. Did they keep you in hospital? What will happen next?? Take care.
