Hallo,
Just keen to chat. I've one more radiotherapy due to alleviate symptoms with spine metastasis, then chemo may re-commence for lung/liver.
So sick of this journey and feeling I might refuse more treatment if offered.
Can barely walk unaided and dreading what the future may hold.
I'm a 66 year old, previously very active, female.
Linda
Hi . I'm not from this group as I've a different type of cancer, I just dropped by and noticed you've not had a reply as yet from the members here, I'm sure they'll be along soon to chat.
I myself had Brachytherapy and a year on I'm experiencing a few problems so I agree I'm sick of this journey as well. I know the treatment route is hard but in the long run it's worth it. I'm sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. Might it be a good idea to have a chat with your team and tell them how bad you're feeling?

It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time.
