Hi all
over the past 4 years I have tried to be positive despite chemo, operations etc. Now on a parp inhibitor. Some people are on same path and others a slightly different route. It seems with breast cancer that there are so many others that you can find support groups and chances are someone is similar to you.
I have had a couple of bleak spells in the last few months. I am sick of the problems with raising my magnesium levels and hence a number of deferments. So I have sachets twice a day and little improves. I have just started on counselling with the local hospice. I sleep a lot and find it difficult to walk.
So I have come to the conclusion I am lonely. I have family but one daughter lives 200 miles away and Covid has made it difficult to see her and children as much as I would like. My best friend has dementia and is deteriorating rapidly. I used to scuba dive and it was a large part of my life. That’s gone.
So we all have our problems and I am sorry to lumber you with is. No doubt as the weather gets more springlike and I can get medication under control I will feel more like living well with cancer- my mantra since the beginning.
oh yes I have gall stones as well but cross fingers not a problem.
feel so much for writing this so things already on the up.
love and good wishes to you all

Hi W
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling that way. I too live alone and it isn't fun sometimes Whereabouts are you based? I'm in solihull, West mids. Through a bit of Internet searching I've found there are support groups for ppc and oc dotted around the country. Perhaps you could join one of those?
How about getting a dog or a cat? I'm planning on getting a pup when my chemo is finished. It's something I've thought long and hard about but I'm looking forward to it 
if you're a dog person itd be a good way to get out and about chatting to other dog walkers x hope you feel better soon x
