  • Hi there Owen ..

    And welcome to our little club ...  trust me on here you won't bore anyone ... you can stay as much or as little as you like ... wer all in the same club .. lots of different variations... and treatments... but we've all got one thing in common ... kicking cancers *** ... 

    Cancer wants us to give up without a fight... lay down and let it win .. well it's got another thing comming .. it's not about winning or loosing .. it's about looking it in the eye .. and know it can hurt our bodies but we won't let it change who we are ... 

    So look round , your not alone ... there's lots right here fighting with you ... so you write anything you want .. vent / yell / or chat ... Chrissie x

  • Hi mrowen it depends on what you are like on kemo you might want to sleep and start to feel better before you do anything else,. Good luck with treatment. Best wishes
