Less Than Ideal

so sorry to hear of your situation.. sending my best wishes, thoughts and hope for you.. 

Adzila - firstly, thank you for sharing. Your words are courageous, frank and revealing. You don’t need to have to be seeking to gain anything but sharing your thoughts/feelings is especially important given the news you’ve received.

I think you’ve every right to have the feelings of anxiety about what is ahead in the future. I guess you need to grab hold of the moment and strive to make memories for everyone involved who are close to you and spend quality time with those that you hold near and dear to do that. Your time is obviously very precious and trying to bring joy into your life at this difficult time will be challenging. 

Id want to check that you had a sound support structure behind you is the first thing that I’d ask. What you’ve been through and what you’re expecting to have to go through is s**t but having strength nearby can go a long way toward making that situation a tiny bit easier.

Ive shared stuff on this forum that I wouldn’t necessarily share elsewhere or with those close to me because it’s a safe space. You can continue to do that because everyone here listens and supports without judgement.

Take care - keep in touch.

Best wishes

Oh Adzila that is so hard, it's the news that we all fear, I am sorry. I hope the treatment options work out to give you the best possible time with your daughter and OH. Sending you all love and strength

I am so sorry to hear about the outcome of your last scan. Hopefully your body will respond extremely well to the treatment your doctors will put into place to give you many more sunny days and memories with your family.

It is perfectly natural to feel the way you feel and you are in the right place to express how you feel as you might not want to upset your family. We are all here for you.

I am sending you lots of love and positive vibes.

Hi Ad. Thank you for sharing so sorry to hear your cancer has returned and spread. It’s such a cruel disease I hope they can come up with a plan to give you more time with your daughter and husband. When the  time is right again hopefully a proper end of life care package will be put in place to ease everyone’s  thoughts. Our local hospice has a great team of people which I hope you have a similar one near you.

In the meanwhile use us as a sounding board to shout at rant or rave on here we never judge anyone. Sending hugs

Hi Ad

Sombre times.  You are showing great courage.... cancer concentrates our minds....you can only do your best with the time you have left.... never give up the good fight.

As others have already said, you plainly have incredible fortitude and spirit inside you to face this horrid twist, right down to the incredibly understated title of your post.

It's the fear we all live with to one degree or another, but, fortunately, few have to face...makes it all the more saddening when we hear of stories like yours. Can do nothing but send you hugs and lots of good wishes, and I hope the time you have left is long and full of love and fun x

You are showing everyone great courage in your words. I'm so sorry to hear of your news. I hope that whatever treatment you have planned gives you the time to enjoy your family to the maximum. My thoughts are with you.
