Up, down, or sideways?

Some days are up. Some down. Some sideways. How are you this week?

Today is definitely a down day, I feel sick, I’m tired but can’t sleep, I can walk more than a few steps before needing to sit down again, I get frustrated that I can’t do things and can’t concentrate enough to work. So I just cry randomly, I’m only 3/12 treatments in and this time during my last 2 treatments I’ve been in hospital. I guess I’m just being a wuss and sick of feeling sick and useless.

Hi @Marea1 , thank you so much for sharing how you're feeling today. It's so tough to go through the treatment journey, be gentle with yourself. Just take it one day at a time and know that you're feelings of overwhelm with it all are normal and don't define who you are.

Please know you can call 13 11 20 and chat to one of our health professionals who understand and answer any questions you might have as well. Take care and stay strong, Miranda CCNSW

Today I don’t really feel anything, just tired.

Ground hog day……….

Hi @Richard1 - hang in there and kind to yourself. You've been through a lot. Hopefully you experience more than the groundhog day feeling one day soon.

Thanks. I’m not happy or sad, somewhere in between. Still a lot better than I was. More test next month and see my surgeon again for check up. Nervous but doing okay. Having this forum to unload my baggage has helped.

Have a great day Miranda 🙂
