I hope your ok.... Sending love xxx

Hi again,

Thanks for sharing your feelings with us in this safe place. Yes, it is good news but every time we see an oncologist we get reminded that we can't be cured and it bursts the protective bubble that we construct around our minds to help keep us sane. It's no wonder you feel down. 

You've been dealing with this for longer than I have, so I won't insult you with platitudes, but I hope that you somehow manage to pull yourself up by your boot straps and start to see the positives again! Just keep reminding yourself that the only alternative we have to living with cancer is even worse. 

Hang in there!

I totally understand how you feel, I was diagnosed with breast cancer Feb 2014 then bowel cancer another primary Aug 2014. Things were going great then 7th may 2015 was told I have Mets in the lung and its incurable. For the first couple of weeks I did nothing but cry, I think this is normal.

I now refuse to think about dying. I've set the mind that whilst I feel fine I'm going to live my life as the cancer as already taken too much and I'm not going to give it any more.

Don't get me wrong if I think about the kids and grandkids I get upset, but I've decided I will deal with that if and when that happens.

Its natural to feel down, but try to do/feel something positive even if its just making an extra effort in your makeup and clothes to go to the shops.it does lift you and then this has a knock on effect.

Hope this helps

Take care Toni
