hello,thought I would join these forums for support in those wee small hours when thoughts get away from you.
i have cancer in bones and lung mets from breast cancer, and am currently on Eribilin treatment.Really don't understand why the Drs say that because the same cancer has returned that it's incurable and palliative care is the treatment. I have decided this is not acceptable and will question every treatment offered ( in a nice way though) although the thought of dying is at the front of my mind all the time and is driving me potty not to mention tearful and irritable, I'm a real joy to live with at the moment
I'm so sad about what cancer has already caused me to stop, the major one being my nursing career of almost 30yrs I miss my friends, my purpose (I can't get used to doing housework, and only having my dog to talk for most of the day! ) Well meaning friends are now starting to drift away as I was diagnosed in 2015 and the noveltys wearing off plus conversation from my side is quite limited and dull these days.
I'm married with one grown up daughter but no grandchildren yet,with my 53rd birthday looming next month. Apologies for the self pitying personal introduction.
