Hello Billy.

           Such great news that you are still fighting on. Its very encouraging. Staying positive is very important but not easy. My illness has gone to lungs and some bone. It's been hard to deal with the news. 

                   Take good care. 

                             Andrea.

Thought I would get in touch with [@mare]‍  hoping she will get in touch soon and tell you her story and ideas .

Couldn't think of any one else just now I'll check through my notes later .

HI Kindandcaring,

A very warm welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear about this latest diagnosis. I am on bout number 2 and live with the fear of being diagnosed with a third. Do you have any interests other those that have been cast upon you? Having a life filled with hospital visits and pills is a definite prescription for loneliness and depression.

I hope that you have better luck with your new meds, as it is difficult to do anything else when you are feeling so unwell. Have you tried attending any of the local cancer charities? There will be several of these close to you, which your hospital or health centre may be able to recommend. Some of the larger charities, such as Maggies or The Haven can offer a cup of tea and a chat, alternative therapies, which are free of charge, counselling services, financial advice, walking groups, etc. You would possibly meet other people here who are in a similar situation to yourself and make friendships that would overcome your lonliness.

Joining a special interest or community group would also do the same. I do hope that you are well enough to take part in some of these services. If not, there are also various befriending services, where people can visit you in your own home or talk to you over the internet or mobile phone.

You will also find that there is no need to be lonely now that you have found this forum, as there is always someone here who is willing to talk to you.

Please keep in touch and remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hello there,

And hello Billy and all.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply. But here now. And thank you Billy for linking me in.

"Treatable but not curable" is a difficult journey isn't it? And pretty lonely. I agree.

There are so many people on this site who are able to understand how lonely it is. You are not alone.

On the positive side, I have made some really good friends on here who are going through similar troubles and I feel more reassured and able to face things nowadays.

If you send me a friend request I will always answer.
