There seem to be lots of posts from family about others dying of cancer. Im the one dying - Id like to talk to others who are near the end too. Its so lonely and frightening. Is there anyone out there who would like to speak?
Sorry Ive been slow replying. Im new to chat rooms and have difficultly typing as I have neuropathy. Did you want to talk privately or on this thread? I would be glad to share
Hi, Im sorry Ive been quiet. I wasnt intending to be rude and really appreciate your support. A petscan showed the cancer has spread again and I have a new, very active, liver secondary. The oncologists were debating whether to offer one last palliative treatment and everything stopped for the debate (and half-term - direct quote!) which took a month. As Ive been told I will die in days or weeks, not months, without treatment I have been pretty stunned and scared. I still have so much to sort out - organisational and personal. Yesterday they decided to try one last chemo and I had the first session. So more head and heart space today. My very best to you both

Wishing all the best in this chemo. I hope it will work and things will turn around, I wish i can offer more but know that we are rooting for you. Just give us a buzz. I have been exhausted as i had radiotherapy this week. I have new growth on my bones which they are trying to zap. But i find radiotherapy mentally draining than physical. I guess its the going back and forth to the hospital.
It is all so exhausting isnt it? And hard to gather yourself together again and face the next thing. Youre very brave tho I can tell and Im sending every hope the DXR succeeds. Many hugs
It is and sometimes difficult to speak to family as they dont get it. I found support from people outside home which is odd.
really difficult to gather yourself and face the next thing especially if you thought you are moving forward but to be honest its taking two steps back.
Look after yourself lovely, sending you lots of love ️
