    Nothing to lose by going to the physiologist..... I wish my fatigue was all in the mind as my body thinks otherwise....

  • Thank you all my daughter thought it was just her and something was wrong.  It’s crazy what goes on in your mind when you are having treatment and when your the mother of your daughter having treatment.  Thank you all

    Its a very tough treatment....recovery is also very tough....for patients and carers....

    Take care....and look after yourself ...your daughter needs a strong and healthy Mum.

  • it must be so hard seeing your daughter go thro this and as a parent myself probably feel helpless that theres nothing you can do to make her better bless you xx stay strong i wish your daughter well she is lucky to have a supportive mum mine was a bit useless in supporting me when i needed her during treatment so stay  as strong as you can and we are all here if you ever need a chat or worried this group are amazing people who have helped me so much xx

  • yes it will be interesting thats for sure not sure about my c n s sitting in she is always so busy but i do feel since treatment finished the team are not there like they was during treatment i understand they are busy with the patients who are newly diagnosed as an ex nhs worker myself i know how busy they all are but feel now treatment is over the support has slowly dwindled if i message them know can take a week to get a reply during treatment had replies within hours of reaching out to them x
