  • This is a post for evryone who's going through this cr**. I watched a programme the other day where a woman had been given 6 months to live. She's still here 4 years later. She actually changed her life and got a camper van. Also, have any of you heard of grounding/earthing on a daily basis. You literally walk bare foot on grass. It energises you and connects you back to nature. The earth has a magnetic field and it's core is also magnetic. We are electric. We need this energy  Spring is comming. Do it daily. Also look up on the internet about grounding. I'm plugged into the mains every night (earthed). My sleep is improving and so is my mood.

    Try it.

  • Thank you patsy for this post,

    Yes grounding is very good,I would have done this many times before I was diagnosed,

    But since been diagnosed I can hardly think straight never mind get back at all these things that I know is good for me and everyone else,I need to get myself well mentally and physically first,please keep me in your thoughts,x

    I hope your feeling better. I know it's hard but 

    we all here for one another. 
    I don't know what to say or advise. I'm having first chemo this coming Wednesday and I am so very scared of this dark road ahead. No idea what to expect even. 
    hopefully I'll be ok. You rest up xx 

  • Hi sangha

    Thank you for reply,

    Chemo is not so bad so try not to worry about that,just make sure and take your anti_sickness medication,and if one doesn't work they are others you can try,don't forget to also look after your mouth,they will give you medication for that,but youl be ok,it really isn't that bad,

    Wishing you well going toward,

    Thinking of you and here if you need a chat,

    Angie!

  • Angie 

    thank you so much for your advice. Hope your better now 

    I guess got to be careful from infections etc my immune system is bad already  

    I'm always sick  yes I shall take medication I've only got given steroids so far.  The mouthwash I think they give when I go in for chemotherapy.  I am going to give the cool cap a go as well and hopefully I get to keep some of my hair. I think I'm in denial still And I'm not at all prepared.  Did you take much with you  I've been told to bring a hat  socks lip balm and cream  water snacks etc xx

    im just worried sick and scared at the same time  thank you for your support  xxx oh have you got two more to go and did you manage to keep your hair xx 

     

     

  • Hi,

    I lost all my hair after the first treatment,but they told me I would as I'm on two different Chemo's,

    It doesn't bother me one bit, my main worry is getting rid of this cancer and getting rid of this fear and anxiety,this seems to be my biggest problem at the moment, am meeting Oncologist next Tuesday with whatever treatment they have planned to go toward with me,

    Please keep me in your thoughts please,x

    Ps,bring what you want,I always have my bottle of water and oil balm,bring a book if you want,my mind just won't allow me to concentrate on focusing on anything only fear

  • Lilyange

    sorry to hear. Sending you big hugs and thoughts with me. I got ampritline 50mg for nerve pain as I had lymph nodes and it acts as an anti depressants xx ask your gp that has helped me lots  

    thank you for your advice. I am going to try cool cap x. They told me I'll loose my hair. I'm only on one chemotherapy t.c chemotherapy. 6 times. Good luck with oncologist. Xxx. Take care. I'm so scared xx

  • Me too, just had bone scan and waiting for first chemo. 
    Trying to stay optimistic but just terrified of everything to do with cancer. Good and bad days, never sure how I will be feeling.
