Have finished round one of my chemo after a six year remission. Chemo finished late Saturday night and the effects really hit Late sunday night. My daughter came to visit me in hospital, she painted a picture of flowers for me because she couldnt bring in the real thing. She also read books to me which was nice.

GAME CONTINUES I passed level 1, It's been 5 weeks after my hysterectomy. My physical recovery's been developing regularly , mentally well I don't know, feel kind of numbness.... everything looks different, sounds different..... I'm entering the trial for a new way of treatment of this particular cancer, treatment should start end of this month.

my boyfriend is recovering from major bowel surgeory right now its day 4 but he's still in extreame pain and was sick today which made it worse 😞 has anyone had any experience with bowel surg and how long did it take to recover? he had a bit of his bowel cut out where the tumor was and now has a bag.. it devestates me to see him like that.. 😞 he still has to have his liver and lung spots cut out.. he has one spot on the liver and two on the lung.. it seems that these operations might be done together and it will be something called 'microwave burning'..

Just wondering if anyone else has those down days. I finished treatment in November last year, 2010 and returned to work in Feb 2011.Today was just one of those days, where everything seemed to go wrong, or maybe I was just more vulnerable today.It is strange returning to the same things but I feel a shift in myself, a restlessness. Perhaps because I experienced something so confronting I feel like everything needs to change. I find myself assessing everything from friends to work to family. I suppose I just want things to go back to how they were. Does anyone else feel like that?
