PMP Reoccurance

Hi....I am a Christie Manchester patient. My GP prescribed Sertraline (it's an SSRI) ...I have found it has really helped me, lifted my mood, and has helped me cope.  I have a recurrence (Dec 2023) and have been having chemo since then.

Hi. I’m on propranolol twice a day. I really don’t want to go back down the route of antidepressants. It took me years to get off them but understand it may be my only option right now.

hows your chemo going? I’m getting cycle 6 on Monday and I’m fed up already.  

Hi there

I am on FOLFIRI and had my 54th cycle. Am doing ok, have got a regular 'new normal' and make the best of my good days and roll with the bad ones (usually fatigue).

Sertraline is an SSRI.....it's not addictive and is not like the old fashioned antidepressants. It was my GP who prescribed Sertraline as our post operative 'mood' can be a bit like PTSD.  They have really helped me keep a 'normal' mood.

I’m on folfox. I know it’s my new normal but I don’t want it to be.  
I was at a coffee morning at my chemo unit and had someone tell me because I’ve had Reoccurance, I have a maximum of 12 months to live. It’s really screwed with my head

Excuse my french....Bllks! 

First of all FOLFOX is a beast so good for you doing that many cycles!

I have a recurrence around my small bowel.....I had my 54th cycle of FOLFIRI today....and according to my Oncologist, disease is stable.

Please join the Pseudomyxoma Survivor FB group......it's a really positive group with lots of great survivor stories.....
