Hi Darren71, sorry your symptoms are so bad. We’re all different in our responses and some people can stay positive most of the time while some of us have anxiety and cry often. That’s how it was for me and I just had to go with it. I had a very supportive husband and daughter who listened and comforted. Every day was different. If you’re in pain it makes you more emotional too. Once you start the treatment hopefully you feel better in time. Hope you have lots of kind people around you. 🙏💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi, hope all goes well for you on Wednesday. At least you should have a proper diagnosis and know what you’re dealing with. I understand how awful it is for your family. It means they love you lots and you will get through this together.  XX Linda G  ... View more

Hi Manfredi, fever is not good when you’re having chemo. If it gets to 38 you need to go to ED I think. Ring the health line if you’re worried   Take care. Linda G  ... View more

Hello Leestarx, so sorry to hear you’re so unwell with the treatment. I had 6 rounds of RCHOP chemo for non Hodgkin’s lymphoma this year. Some cycles were worse than others but it has got rid of the cancer so it was worth it as I hope it is for you. I lost my hair which has grown back now but it’s different and it still doesn’t feel like me but then I think it’s the new me, a scar of this ordeal. Hope you’ve got someone looking after you and your little ones. I know it’s bad but your treatment will be finished soon and you will start to feel better and your hair will grow back. Sending you love and prayers. Let us know how you are doing. Xx Linda G 💕 ... View more

Hello. I remember waiting for my diagnosis of a biopsy earlier this year. It was a time of huge anxiety and fear even tho I tried to just wait for the diagnosis I would just fall apart. My husband would just sit with me, lie with me or we would walk together. He just let me be real with my emotions and that was good because I couldn’t be positive a lot of the time. I hope and pray that the surgeon is right and there’s no cancer. 💕 Linda G  ... View more
