Glad you are feeling a bit better Maggie.
Darlo you will still be getting pain from your radiotherapy, I know it’s pointless me telling you not to worry as I would be the same.
On the sofa in agony with my back, watching strictly wishing I could be danced off my feet.
hi chelle. think the trouble from radiotherapy starting to go.. at last. took about 2 months. the pain i get doc thinks from scaring and tumer. i will have to put up with. been twice as much since yesterday but has now subsided. TC all.

AHH chel I know how it feels..I used to fly..I can't now ,grounded.ivused to fly all over the town. Sit on our roof looking down to the Tyne. Pop down to the local seeing who was about. No more. ...
Ps must start drinking again..xx
Maggie - Poor you, but it sounds like you are almost there and just one more pesky one to go. It will all be done soon.
Darlo - Sorry to hear you are sore, please revisit your painkillers and ask for an increase/change if it will help. They have a lot of things to put the pain away so I am sure there is a lot more they can offer. Before treatment started when I was rattling with several pain killers and still in agony I hobbled to the hospital as had barely slept for 2 nights and third day in pain they gave me what they said were local anaesthetic patches (I think they were laymen's term for fentanyl) and by god they did the trick! I went from a pacing crying wreck to climbing and settling on the bed and finally falling asleep. It was heaven!
Chelle - Sorry to hear you are sore too. Bone pain/joint pain is so hard to get on top of. Exercise! How dare they. Why is the treatment suggestion never a warm bath with a bubbly drink? I hope it improves soon.
Good idea to have a little moan. Often I try and hold them in on here, as I don't want to bring others down, in hindsight maybe some of my moans or subjects I needed to speak about but didn't want to bring up as not a good subject, I likely should have done.
So my little moan contribution is nearly 2 weeks after the fourth cycle and my bloods on all four areas are the lowest they have ever been. Booster jabs and I think as no actual infection they are holding off till Monday to do anything much more. Always the blooming weekends eh.
We will all get there keep trudging
When I was first being diagnosed the quote from a brilliant film 'The Grey' came to mind and It's another favourite quote of mine.
Sorry Peggy and Marimba,
This I thought was the other thread Maggie was posting on about a little moan.
Peggy completely agree a little moan is good for the soul here and there.
Marimba sorry you are suffering too. Can they not prescribe some sleeping tablets or similar to help you a bit? Nothing worse than not feeling well, than being awake all the time not feeling well
Nice to hear from you Gina Hun .yes hinny you deserve a moan, been through hell, and back again..yes we want everyone to moan if they have one .what's the point of saying all's well when in fact your in the darkest place on earth. So many people are barely coping with their results and we've all been in their shoes. So no one's alone,we all need someone in same position as ourselves.. prayers for us all..xx
Gina you never cease to amaze me. With all that you are going through you always take time to think of others. I hope you have a good weekend and your bloods are soon sorted.
I’ve not seen the film, but that quote left me speechless.
