Hi

It's hard being here, it's the sort of forum I hoped I'd never have to join. So hello! I'm not sure what to put, I get emotional and I don't want to start crying and make a fool of myself. I've been fighting cancer since 2016, its since spread over years and recently spread again. Treatment has been horrible at times and right now it's all feeling like it was for nothing. I try not to think like that. *sighs*. I try to keep my positive face on. I don't want to be a pain to my family, so I thought I'd come here and vent and hopefully find some advice and help.

Much love x

    Hi pigtails. Sorry you find yourself here it's rubbish! 
    Treatment can be very harsh at times, but never think it was a waste of time, it has probably given you more time with your family. 
    My cancer is a sarcoma and is inoperable, but being managed at the moment. I know there is no cure, but you have to keep on going. Do you mind me asking where your cancer started? Mine was in the womb and spread to the lungs.

    Hi. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, the heat was to much so I rested up the last 48. Mine started lung but since spread and now NSCLC. As you said rubbish but every day is a bonus. I'm not online all the time at the moment but I'll look out for any more replies. Take care in the heat.

    Oh I know how you feel! This heat is unbearable, and really effects my breathing. I've not left the house this week, I've just been staying inside trying to stay cool in front of the fan.

    I am sorry to hear that the cancer has spread from your lungs. We're you not diagnosed as NSCLC initially ? Are you on immunotherapy? Lots of people with lung cancer do very well on immunotherapy xx
