Thanks for sharing your blog. I'm glad to hear that despite everything that's been thrown at you that you're doing well and looking forward to this coming Christmas and New Year.
I know that some members have found personal blogs to be really therapeutic for them to write and I know many members here have found other people's personal blogs to be of real value during their treatment.
I hope that the rest of your Folfox treatment goes smoothly and that the scan brings positive news!
Hi , I admire your positivity and what you refer to as stubbornness. I hope that the treatment and scan bring you some positivity, . I'm not quite sure why I am writing on here , I hope I dnt offend anyone as I have not been diagnosed with cancer... yet ! I feel pathetic especially with what youvd been through ,but cant stop my mind ,In what seems like a very short space off time I have lost a significant amount off weight . 6 pounds this week !! And I just seem to have lost it over the last 6 week without trying , I cant remember exactly but I was 15 or just over 2 months back . I have been to docs n had chest x ray and bloods taken ,chest was fine n bloods came back fine , just the liver needs checking in 4 week again . There doing some more bloods next week to check for celiac desease .I just find it hard to believe the weight I am loosing is not through something serious, n i have set my mind on pancreatic cancer as it is hard to diagnose n decided my symptoms to relate to most , floating stools , bloated, blood levels in liver not quite right I am in a state off sheer panic and just want to get to bottom off this asap. I am 29 , my partner n I have bought our first house this year n our boy is 1 in October . My partner and those close to me try to convince me I'm overthinking everything . My mind wnt stop racing , what if I dnt see my boy grow up , what will my partner do with house , how will she manage financially. Ino this all seems premature , especially to yourself and others who have been through much tougher times , I dnt no what I'm looking for really . Iv just been using dr Google n drive myself into a very dark place , I thought just talking on here , myt help in some way
Hi Frank, sorry for the delay in replying and I can empathise with the position you find yourself in especially if you feel that you may not be getting the support from the doctor. AlI can say at this point is 'badger' the doctor until you get positive results which will be far easier to deal with.
Keep positive because you obviously have some wonderful things in your life - a new home, your son and your partner.
Please keep in touch with updates and post anytime you may feel you want a 'rant'.
