Feeling low and scared

Hi 

I was diagnosed nearly five years ago with stage 4 bone and kidney , I have been on treatment   for 4.5 years  , consultant said I would last up to five years he has said how well I am doing but my body’s tired , in pain and really feeling every part of it at the moment 

thanks for reading 

  • I have bladder cancer but I am waiting to have my bladder removed.  I also have other symptoms which make me think I have lymphoma but that hasnt been diagnosed as yet.  I have been waiting for 6 months from the day I first went to GP.  I cry on a daily basis but I do know my mind runs riot with every pain I have I think its spread.  I know bladder removal is a big op and I am 68 years old with not the best set of lungs :-(.   I just have to leave it in the hands of the docs.  

  • It’s hard when you sit and think about it all I hope you are ok x

  • I hope you get the answers you need soon , 

    I have a break from treatment at the mo 

    but still taking my chemo tablets every day x

  • That’s such a horrible feeling , it’s hard to get back on track again .

    Happy new year to you I hope you are having a gd couple of days xx

  • I hope the New Year brings you better health and peace of mind.  

    Do you have family to lean on?  Of course we try to protect those close to us.

    I feel health wise the prospect with me it isn't great , if I could get peace of mind.  Weird how when I heard of someone with cancer I thought how horrible it must be for them but to be honest I really didn't have a clue.  My heart goes out to you and the countless other who have had this cross to bear for years.

    Take care and try to make the best of every moment.XX  

  • I totally get your feelings.  I’m starting to feel very flat and so weary of chemotherapy . 
    whilst feeling incredibly grateful for  the wonderful team and their efforts. Nothing can take away your  innermost thoughts and fears. 
    it’s harder to remain positive, but I tell myself that I must keep going forward with hope. 
    I am thinking of you and wish for better times in 2026 for us all.
