I have just joined after being told I have grade4 . I am totally in a nightmare feeling. I am 71 have two little granddaughters. I don’t want to die.
but am don’t know what to do. What to think. Have no symptoms.
have not heard from a Dr yet , but believe they want to start chemo. Family want me to go private. Or take Canadiss oil .
any advice. So many questions.
Evening, I totally do understand how you are feeling, as I am in the very same place, stage 4 advanced, again like you no symptoms, I have been told they will give me chemo.. please don't think being concerned and thinking of dying is a weakness we all think of that but now you have push it a side and say.. I'm strong, I've got a chance I've got hope, and thank God they have found this because I know what I am up against! We can live with this...it sounds like you love your family very much and your Granddaughters are the apple of your eye, so come on it's only cancer together we can kick it... Much love and well wishes from me to you..x
Thank you. I am a control freak, this is so out of my comfort zone. Your words mean a lot to me. Hope your doing well.
I wish you all the best . Please keep in touch.
Morning, lovely lady, like you I'm in total shock mode, as my cancer is also in my pelvis and bones which I did not expect to hear I was ready for overies and lymph nodes but just another blow to take....all I can say is I know it's world rocking to even to be having this conversation for us both however, we need to think how wonderful our families are how lucky were are to be loved, I know this might sound bonkers but I do feel blessed to have such a fabulous family, so that's where I go to before I sink into the whys... sometimes things just are out of our control...try to do something nice every day, go to picture's with a friend or family member, even a coffee... But talking is really good, so please talk to me anytime...
Have a good Saturday!
Lovely thoughts and totally agree I have stage 3. Had one good chemo next one had a reaction was very scary but with just those 2 my ca125 has come down from almost 900 to under 200 I'll take that for my positive thought for the week ahead. Had my 3rd yesterday no problems. So important to have the positive things. We can beat this stay strong.
Thankyou again. Your words of comfort. Have you started any treatment. You have a wonderful Saturday your such a lovely lady.
So glad your on treatment and looks like a positive outcome.
can’t wait to see a Dr. And find out more on what they are going to do. My brother wants me not to have chemo. Your words help me so much. Have a lovely day.
So glad your chemo is turning out positive for you. Hope this carries on. Your in put really helps. You have a lovely day.
That is great new about the ' numbers'..you are so right every little bit of Hope is a blessing, you are most definitely giving the C run for it's Money! As will I ... Because that's what all us gorgeous woman will do, be strong, and get on!!!
Since I have been diagnosed I have took great comfort in Hot Chocolate, even got a proper hot chocolate maker...that's my treat to me., Maybe when they go in for my biopsy it is indeed the Big C... ( Cadburys)!!!!
