Daily Struggles & Cancer. It's tough, but I'm pushing on

I'm struggling with every day life at the moment. I'm not sure if it's where summer is over and everything is cooler, wetter and darker again. I find the weather can sometimes make you feel a bit rough. My cancer progression is quite fast and the effects of it are building stress and making me feel bad and stopping me doing things. I get breathless and tired easily and I'm down to just a glass of wine every other night, not that I used to drink loads it's just I don't seem able to tolerate much now. I have IBS as well and that doesn't help.

Work is ok at the moment but only light work. I can't do what I used to, way too tired for that. If I do too much I get dizzy and need to lay down.

I have the fed up and want to scream moments but not so much now. I try to get on with it and enjoy what I can do. 

I have a good support system and they help me through the hardest times.
