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

Pigtails xx

    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.

    My word you have been through a awful lot. I'm sorry. But your strong and I'm glad that you can still do things for your hubby and yourself. I worry about the when I'm to ill but for now do try to focus on the now, today, worry about tomorrow another day. Please reach out here or to cancer support if you need to when feeling low. There is support out there for us so please use it if you need to. That's what it's there for. I'm tired and am going to rest now. Take care in the heat and I hope you've had a better day today.

    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
