Hope you guys are all getting on as well as can be and made the most of the Easter. I just need to vent I guess. Have started second week of treatment and I just don't know how I'm going to get through. It's only the beginning. I literally feel like I'm on another planet. Can't put into words how my body feels. I ache. My taste buds seem to be non existent. I'm so fed up and fear it's only going to get worse
Thank you Angela. I actually feel much better today than yesterday strangely as I'm waiting to be attached to the drip. I honestly don't know what happened the weekend think it was downtime then gearing up again it was all I could think of. And yes your absolutely right the battle is alone. No matter how much people try to support we have do physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically do this alone. I'm sorry to hear that your mood has been low I hope you do get the support you need. Sounds like the side effects were very tough on you I'm so sorry that your experience has been that way. I absolutely love the idea of ticking the appointments off I'm going to try that.

Hi again LJ
Yes defo tick off the days, you'll be surprised just how quick it goes. I always found weekends hard but only until my meds were tweeked then I coped so much better. Don't be afraid to ask team they will usually have a solution for everything but most importantly rest when you need to. This is a long day for you so try reading resting or playing games on your phone. So glad to hear your feeling a bit better today and it's nearly the end of another week for you so get ticking that list U got this xx
Really glad you’re feeling a bit better today. Ticking off the days is a good idea to see how far you’ve come, and suddenly it’s all over. I did that too, and it helps to see it on paper. Good to see what you’ve accomplished rather than thinking about what is still left to do. Hope your day goes ok today.

I'm sorry to hear this. Hun whatever it is they're aware of it which is always a positive
Oh Nahla you've already been through so much I can't imagine how you're feeling. How all this was missed after all the examinations you've had is mind blowing! Take time for self care right now and cry and scream at the injustice if you need to but keep coming on for a chat/rant. We're all here for you .
Hugs Angela xx
