I always thought that.....

The good news is, as they say: Good! Nothing has continued growing (stage 4 colorectactal cancer) Bad news is: I believe I am losing some of my mind. I did not mind having the stroke, over ten yrs ago. I have been philosophical. I was a professional pianist, being unable to play was awful, but, after the grief I accepted it.  I just got on with it! and, who needs eight languages? I keep stimulated, take my Creatin and, I'm 'good to go'!  Last week or two, I woke up feeling as though I was begining some kind of flu? Could not easily focus my thoughts.....they were somewhat like shadows, like txt, greyed-out. "I had always thought that" IF I had my brain, I could fight whatever is happening to me. my personailty is intact, I can fight anything! I wonder what is causing this? IS IT the hepatic hypertension? or the usual one? THEY told me that I had the former befire my  big op, and, of course, now...everything has spread to my lungs and liver...Eeeeeegads? What s happening? ough I to force my mind in to reading some advanced philosophy?It was only a few month ago that when telling someone that I was going to have Chemo, then remembered that I was going to start Immuno, Therapy. Which came out as KimonoTherapy. LOL none of which has begun. Yet. Ho HUM! ??? I prey that Each and all of you is as happy as you can be, or, at least 'comfotable' :)  Jon xxx

  • Hi Jon,

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing these difficulties. If you have concerns or questions about this, it would be a good idea to discuss things with your doctor. They will be best placed to advise on whether this is all to be expected as part of what you are going through.

    Aside from this, if others here have similar experience to share then hopefully you'll get some more replies soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
