Hi Dan

How are you doing?been following your post and your V-blog.Your managing to keep that sence of humour! I do all I can to keep hold of mine helps me out at times! You still got your hat? Anyway wanted to say hi and say I was thinking about you.x

Am a bit down today, guess I'm gonna get days like that - have cramping pains in my abdomen as well as having lost over 2lb's in weight - so a bit worried -  oh well, just gotta take it week by week I guess

Hi Dan

Sorry your feeling down today.I get days like  that too.Yesterday was one of those for me,I felt angry for everything that's changed for what I'm going through for how it's changed my relationship with loved ones.I spent alot of hours crying.

I'm better today (slightly) I'm not a blubbering mess anyways.I can only offer my support to you and say your not alone.I Hooe you get some good news this week.For me it consists of another round of chemotherapy a new drug this time which I hear is slightly rougher.we do what we must I guess.

Take care

Dan, it's a life changing event so unfortunately things will appear down at times. I am so sorry. I wish I could make things better for you. But if it's any comfort, we have all have been there either as a patient and/or caring for a loved one with the illness. But times do improve and good times will come again.

Awaiting answers and treatment plan can be a hard waiting game.

You have been held in the hospital environment for the last while and that in itself gives the chance to allow thinking time and with pain and symptoms it is no fun.

Hopefully things will pick up and visitors will tick you over until you can get home and be around people more often and out of the hospital environment.

The pain will get you down just now but hopefully it's going to improve very soon. 

Hi  dan  fingers and  toes crossed  for you  so sorry  you are  feeling  down  l can't  imagine  how  you  are  feeling  my  thoughts  and  prayers  are  with you  take  care  xx

Chin up Dan, You're doing great! Any stay in hospital is tough. Stay strong xxx
