I don't quite know what to say, which is unusual for me. It's upsetting that there are so many unfortunate people on this site but at least we can "talk" to each other knowing that we know exactly what the others are going through and not be told "chin up, we all have problems!". Yes, I was actually told that a few days before I began my course of chemotherapy. A few choice words meant that I no longer hear from that person anymore. Such a shame! Have any of you found that when you tell people that you have cancer, they look at you as if you've said something in a foreign language? One even said "oh, OK" and put the phone down. What sort of reply is that? So I decided to come on here and annoy you all. I now find it difficult to sleep and still wonder if, instead of being made to wait 7 months before having tests, I'd had them when I first presented with the symptoms, things may have been different. But, of course, there's nothing I can do about that now. I spent some time this afternoon trying to choose a wig but got so completely confused that I ended up ordering some storage boxes from a different site completely. Anyway, I won't bore you anymore tonight (I'll start again tomorrow). I've been told that they will be unable to cure my cancer but, hopefully, will be able to treat and control it. To be honest, I did wonder if it was worth going through all that I am, and will be, going through but I had my first session of chemo on 3 August and my next session is next Monday so as I've started, I may as well finish. So to paraphrase the old saying, try not to/don't let the b......d grind you into the ground. Good luck to you all. x
