Morning all,
I am feeling very low today and feel like I can’t do this anymore and feel like I’m not going to get better. I have my third chemo on Monday and then see my oncologist Thursday and then my midway scan Saturday. I’m feeling very anxious about the scan and if it will show that the chemo if working. I think this is why I’m feeling low and it’s a horrible feeling. I haven’t felt like this since the start of this journey, back to feeling like I’m beyond help. X
Hi Rach_E Oh my love, don't you dare say that - I'm only slightly ahead of you and I've just had the news my tumours are regressing and the lesions have reduced by nearly a half.
I felt exactly the same after the scan waiting for the results so I can say, hand on heart I do know exactly what you mean. Like me, you've got this and WE WILL BEAT THIS LITTLE BUGGER!
Stay positive, big hugs, Barb xx

Hi MrsBJH I am so glad that the scan results are positive. I have spoken to my macmillan nurse this morning and feeling a little bit more positive. It seems that they have changed me from a stage 4 to a stage 3 which seems good I suppose. I stupidly googled the type that I had and it came up with the words rare and aggressive so I scared myself and got all in a tizz. The nurse has explained that the rare and aggressive bit has gone now and it hadn’t spread which is good I just have a lymph node in the neck, a nodule on my lung and a two nodes in the pelvis that they are questioning and that is what the chemo is for. You’re right we can beat this and we will not let it win. X
