Have a good New Year rosey. We aren't going out anywhere because I have had a bladder infection (cystitis gone crazy) for a couple of days and I was feeling a bit rough.  Best wishes for all the people reading this post - enjoy the New Year; have a good one.  I had a friend die of cancer yesterday; not a very close friend but someone I had known for some years.  Let us all enjoy the life we are living now.

Rosey, you seem to know what to do, and yes I think you're right to stick at it with the psychologist and I'm sure it will help. And I reckon it's probably really normal to be emotional isn't it? If being emotional was bad for me I'd not be here now; I used to howl for hours on end! I don't think it hurts to let your feelings out sometimes does it?

What a sad time for you and your family; aunties are pretty precious! But I expect she would want you to keep quite focussed on your own battles though wouldn't she? And I'm sure she would be sending you some strength to get through.

I have found that talking to you and other friends does take some of the pressure off my family. But, as Annieliz said, your family will be likely happy to talk too. I have found my family actually appreciate feeling that they have helped me - I think they feel less helpless when they know they have made a difference.

Oh, and I'm pleased you got that mattress too!

I wish you all the best for 2018. I shall be thinking of you.

Hi Friends just to let you know that I got help from my hospital psychologist and feeling heaps better ! So very helpful and had an hours session . I had me scan last week and now to see my Oncolgist tomorrow .Its causing me a bit of panic but I can t change what the day will bring . I am so grateful for this site and be able to tell you all my feelings .So very very grateful Rosey x

Well today is the day and I am scared. Just got to wait till. 2pm to see my Oncologist I pray it will be positive Just wanted to share this with my friends on here. I don’t want to moan but I am panicky. Let you all know my outcome this afternoon . Love to you all Rosey x

Will be thinking of you at 2pm. To be scared is entirely normal now that the day is here.  Take good care of yourself and don't let anything beat you.  Will look out for your post if you are not too tired to let us know.  You are one nice lady.

Thank you for your kind words !

Well this is how it is . My scan had not been looked at by radiologist because a back log due to holidays ! My Oncologist said she had looked at the scan and said there were no significant changes so that made me feel heaps better tho I got to go back to her clinic next Wednesday for the actual report . My bloods were fine. I got to get dental work done this week so while my white blood cells are in the normal range I am getting this done and back to start the chemo next week Thank you for all your support Rosey x Feeling happier!!!!

Just come onto the forum and saw your post - opened it straight away and was so pleased that the oncologist had not seen any significant changes.  Not half as pleased as yourself although I realise you have to wait another week for the radiologists report. You can relax a bit now and concentrate on things you enjoy.  Thanks for letting us know and I hope you will keep us informed.

I hope you are also sleeping better what with the good news and the new mattress!

Hi, I was wondering how you'd got on too. Really pleased for you, and I agree totally with everything Annieliz has just said. Big hugs, Mary xxx
