Hi, have been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Have just finished 4 lots of chemo and wait results of CT and MRI scans in Jan. However I keep crying and as have sciatica in left leg and need new knee replacement in right leg am in a lot of pain.
Sick of being not able to do what I did last year, and sick of feeling so tired and weepy.
Hi Crosswordf8a4db welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. Chemo is hard going, and will take a lot out of you. On top of being in pain with your knees I am not surprised to hear you are feeling fed up and weepy. I know it feels hard at the moment, but your mobility will improve and you will be able to do the things you did before.
Good luck with the scan results.
Thank you, hopefulky next year things will get better. Please keep in contact nice to have someone to talk to.
