Hi Stacie, I was also told that my cancer is not curable but they can hopefully control it. It did scare me to be told that, I have a rare form of lymphoma and it's a slow growing cancer at the moment, I'm on my 4 th chemo treatment and doing very well. The anti sickness tablets they give you now are much better than they used to be. Even the nurses said that as they don't want you being sick, if one doesn't work they will give you another. The worst bit I found was the first clump of hair to come out, three weeks after my first chemo but I had a lovely wig waiting for me. I didn't shave it off, I couldn't do that but I have coped well, wig and sleep hat at night. Only two more treatments to go hopefully. I wish you well x

Hi 

Thank you for your reply how has the chemo affected your appetite. And that's another big worry of mine is my hair I know they have fantastic people that talk to you and sort things out for you but it's still a big thing. Im so happy to hear that you've almost finished your treatment and I wish you all the luck in the world x

Hi, I lost about 2 stones before my diagnoses , I’m only 7 stone at the moment but I’m glad to say that the steroids I’m on have given me back my appetite and I’ve put on a few pounds, I had to go and buy new clothes, everything I had was too big. Like you it was the hair thing I was dreading, but really it’s not too bad, get a nice wig, mine is actually better than my own hair and looks very natural. My head is so cold at night I wear a sleep hat. Takes me a minute to do my hair in morning lol. Keep positive thoughts and you will get through this journey. Take care x

Diagnosed with stage4 colon cancer and rare.  It doesn't get any better.  I AM WAITING TO HEAL FROM MY COLOSTOMY SO THEY CAN BEGIN CHEMO.  You bet Im scared.  i have no idea whats ahead.  I just want to live pain free for a couple more years.  Everyone says stay positive it will help your chances.  A lot easier said than done.  Sometimes I wonder if ending it would be easier.

It's refreshing to know they can give you lots to replace what you've lost ie weight and such yeah I've lost quite a bit of weight already so I know to expect to lose more but I can put it back on. Yeah i suppoelse look8ng at the positives I can choose different colours and lengths.thank you for your reply take care of yourself too x

Ending something that hasnt ended yet just wouldn't be right,  i have been frantically searching the net for an upper i can offer my dad as he too is so very down he was diagnosed a week ago and its not curable he is stuck in hospital when he yearns to go home , i so very wish we could help you with some specially derived drug that takes all of your fear and darkness away to make you feel bold uncaring and footloose happy and free , i hope it's not offensive to anyone or yourself in my words there about drugs but I honestly see it as my only hope to see my dad's relaxed smile again,  i think you all deserve whatever you want when you are faced with the most fearful thing there can ever be , i hope you can find moments where your thought paths can allow you some positive thinking , hard as f*¥@ for you to see any light i know but i do hope you can , 

How are you now? Hope you are doing well
