Also thought I'd mention I'm 46 years old and live on my own and have really struggled to sleep and have been having the weirdest of dreams and nightmares :) 

Hello Vinay, 

A very warm welcome to our forum! Well done for reaching that important milestone, the half way point... I am so glad you are doing so well and you are coping with the side effects. 

It is indeed a tough journey as many of our members will know too well but you seem to be doing so well. Having a great group of friends is priceless and it sounds like your friends are super supportive. 

It's so nice of you to come here and radiate so much positive energy and to be wanting to make others on here smile. I hope that the weird dreams and nightmares go away though.

I will let our members come and say hello and share their story with you! 

Best wishes and good luck for the rest of your treatment. Keep us updated if you don't mind on how it all goes for you.

Hi lucie hope you are well.

Thought I would provide an update,   I have temporary stopped chemo as thankfully the cancer has reduced  in size and have a liver operation booked to chop it out next week..  Then all things being well ill continue the remaining chemo for 3 months..  I'm Convinced being positive is a major factor to get to this point on this sometimes bleak journey...   Just for perspective I went into a Macmillon support centre  a few weeks ago and the lady thought I was lost which kind of made my day and i gave her a brief update on my scenario etc.. She asked how they can help and my reply was nothing but is there any way I can help you today haha her face was a picture..  Moral of the story... be kind be happy be positive and be a ray of light if you can. Hopefully my next update is better. :) xx

Hello 

Hello,...  Happy Friday :)

Hope you are ok 

Yes. I’m happy, you

Good to hear that 

Tell us more about yourself. 

That's like asking me how longs a peice of string :) 

Thankfully grew up In the 80s and 90s so without phones or Internet, makes such a difference today as its made me very socially active and love meeting new people etc and feel it's one of my best assets, put me in the tricky or awkward scenario and I'll be absolutely fine, don't get me wrong I do feel negative and low at times however I am able to snap myself out of it by either meditation or musuc or by simply having a  word with myself. 

Having never asked for help in my entire life, this process has made me reach out and it's been the toughest challenge for me personally, and now I feel a bit silly for being a lone ranger and battling through life in general but I guess better late than never 

Ticked off 99% of bucket list things over the years so pretty content. 

West ham fan so feel free to give me some stick lol

I could go on but will leave it for now. 

Please do let me know a little about yourself also if you're able to
