Hi All

I'm going a bit off-track here, hope it's ok. I'm feeling emotional, just read RoseG's post and posted I was so pleased to hear her news.

At the same time was listening to radio 2. The song playing was OK Not To Be OK by Demi Lovato and Marshmello. I've read the lyrics and, my goodness, if that doesn't relate to all of us, I don't know what does. I'm sure copyright would prevent me from copying and pasting but when we're all feeling lost these lyrics explain perfectly.

Hugs to all, Bxx Hugging

    Hi MrsBJH,

    It's okay to be emotional you have been through a great deal, I had plenty of days like that & I think it's all part of healing & recovering & coming to terms with everything. I still have the odd "off" day now & again but these have become fewer & fewer & I am so glad to be be on this forum because we can talk about what we are going through & over time we find ourselves being able to help & support others who have recently been Diagnosed & are just starting their rollercoaster ride.

    Hope your recovery is going well & you are getting plenty of rest, just take each day as it comes.

    Love & Hugs Hugging

  • Its a common phrase we like to use , its OK not to be OK, its a phrase I love because its perfectly true its a really well written song I think. I think we all have off days and that's OK, at least here we all understand what's happening and its great to talk with others who actually get it.

    Hope your feeling better for sharing, big hugs.

  • Hi 

    just reading posts on here x I check in still x I’ve been good for a while back to work etc but lately it’s hit me again x I should be happy I was lucky not needing anymore treatment x next check up in January x it’s weird I’m not sure why I feel like this x it will be a year in November 18th when my life changed forever x is this normal to feel like this? I feel guilty feeling like this there’s a lot worse than me x it probably doesn’t help with the current situation we are all in. Xxx

  • Hello MargaretRon

    Welcome back to one of the "old girls". You shouldn't feel guilty that you didn't need any more treatment, you were fortunate! It gives hope to those just starting on this horrible journey that not all of us need more treatment.

    I'm 4 weeks post op, generally feeling fine. Now getting a little apprehensive about my forthcoming Brachytherapy sessions starting in two weeks time. Not about the treatment, more worrying in case it ends up getting cancelled because of Covid19. The window of opportunity is 6-8 weeks after the op and I'd hate to miss it.

    Yes, our lives do change forever with that totally unexpected diagnosis, but we're all strong enough to fight it off hopefully. Hope your check-up in January goes well!

    Take care, Barb xx
