Hello,

Finding this week tough. The stent I have always plays me up( well, I think that’s what it is). Looking at the other people there for chemo, you wouldn’t have known they were ill whereas I struggle to walk and I’m a skeleton with skin. Wondering what to do really as now feel worse from chemo( understand I would) but just wondering if I have too many things wrong to keep it up. I know some of you have loads of things too but I just go to bed and get up, force food down me and then sit until bed time and repeat the process. Difficulty breathing too that is helped with taking oxy. From what I read here, lots of people have managed a bit of normality. I’m a young or was a young 60. Just don’t know.!

No one need reply. Just got it out of my system when I wrote this!

  • Hello Mags123

    I am sorry that you have had such a tough week. Chemo is hard.

    I know that you said no reply necessary but I just felt I wanted you to know that you are not alone and that so many of us can identify with how you are feeling.

    I am glad you feel a bit better by getting it out of your system by writing this down. 

    If there is anything that you need please do ask but I hope you have a better few days.

  • Thank you Sharon and Olly. It is so kind of you to think of me. I only did one session of chemo and decided not to continue.

    I am having a bad day today as first day I can’t drink so I’m petrified. I’ll have ice etc. Dietician coming today,

    My daughter gets married on Thu and this morning has been a stinker.

    Anyway, enough of me. How are you?

  • Bless you Mags123 try sipping through a straw it might help.  Glad your seeing a Dietician will help you well.  Hope you can get to see your daughter.  Im not bad thanks I do have good and bad days I finished Radiotheraphy in January had 5 days but told I cant have any more if it comes back will have to have chemo again.  My last few scans have been stable so I am happy with that. I take each day one at a time and stay positive.  You look after yourself anytime you want to chat .....love and hugs xxxx

  • That is very good news about the scans.

    Dietician has just left. Very helpful.

    Keep up your positivity and love and hugs backKissing heart
