I’m just new to the diagnosis of what ostensibly is a non curable blood cancer and presently in “waiting and watching”. So just saying hello to all the brave people who contribute to this Forum.

Hiya moongirl, and welcome to the forum that no-one ever wants to join. Very sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, and as you say, it's 'watching and waiting' mode.
Hi Blue-girl,
thank you for your welcome. I am sorry too that you are facing difficult times. Whilst watching and waiting is welcome in one sense it renders life into woulda, shoulda coulda so to speak! This term was coined by a dear friend but it so often expresses what sensible words can’t!
But it’s good not to be alone in this shadowland so thanks for reaching out.
You're welcome mate, xx
I’ve just been diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma womb cancer… desperate times
Hello Shifty, so sorry to hear that, joining with you in sharing the pain and shock of this difficult time. Keep on keeping on.
Hello Moongirl… thank you for reaching out… what a rollercoaster … trying to stay positive but failing at times … will sorry on trying tho’ … if you don’t mind my asking what are your circumstances? Xxx
I’ve just read your thread… so terribly sorry to hear of your diagnosis… so we’re in this together… bless xxx
Good morning Shifty, thank you for your lovely message. Yes it is something of a rollercoaster which I used to love at the fairground! I suppose we just keep on keeping on literally as the song says “One day at a time” … we are indeed all in it together…bless you xxx
Hi there, I’ve been under haematologist for low grade b cell non Hodgkin lymphoma and am being watched and waiting. I had a biopsy on lumps in my groin but no action taken at present. I am also dealing with the extreme fatigue all the time. It’s good my husband is supportive but every day I wake up I just feel tearful and don’t seem to be able to concentrate on anything. I have a loving daughter and son who don’t live at home anymore and they are supporting me too. I used to be so carefree and now I’m 70 in September I really feel quite helpless. It is the tiredness that is getting me down, any advice from anyone please? Love to anyone going through this xx
Hello… I can’t give you advice but I share your feelings of utter helplessness… the mornings are the worst and then you cope… buckle… cry a lot… then get yourself back together… we are sharing the struggles and hopefully we’ll come through it for some time… all good wishes x
