Cats Just a quicky reply but enjoy that wallowing and its ok to do it!! Just dont stay there and put a time limit on it. Then while you are down there ... enjoy and really embrace it. Am really sorry to hear you got put back in hospital again. That happened to me quite a lot in the early days and whilst the staff are wonderful, its just not a great thing to do. HOpe they get your pain sorted for you. hugsss Julie xoxo ... View more

Brilliant - as the pommies would say! Have an awesome time. I know when I jumped on a plane on impulse and went to New York with my dear, dear friend last October, I remember thinking one day, that I had gone 2 whole days and not thought about cancer. As her husband had died from cancer 3 years earlier, it was pretty momentous for both of us. A beautiful time of the year to be in Greece. Enjoy!!! Samex ... View more

Hey willow Sorry to hear you have been in pain. YOu have absolutely done the best thing by contacting someone to get it sorted. As vinouche has said ... stay strong. Just cross bridges when you have to, no point in putting yourself through a whole heap of emotions that you dont need to go through. Julie xo ... View more

Hi Sangeeta It must have been extremely difficult for you to have to start again on your own - I hope you are feeling better about the move now and are able to enjoy your new home. I am still very worried about things but as the trip is just this Friday I am going to go away and do everything I can to enjoy it. Thanks for your reply...Kind regards, Willow xo ... View more

Hi Teach You are very wise......I too like order in my life and this has certainly thrown me.......I feel all messed up and I do feel out of control. How do I get the control back ....not sure but I am working on it (most days) And your right - I didn't think I would be facing these decisions now or facing these issues this soon - I had at least the next ten years all mapped out and I was actually looking forward to some of the things I had planned. And then this .........wow, so hard. So now I have to find a new plan and I'm not coping very well. Anyway ...thanks for your reply .......Take care, Willow xo ... View more

Hi Willow, I finished radiation last month and found that the area hurt for months afterwards. My ribs still hurt some days especially if I've rolled over on my stomach while sleeping. The biggest frustration I felt during during and even now is the impacts on my physical strenght. My ankles, legs and knees hurt if I've been sitting down for longer than 5 minutes and like you I have to stretch them out and then limp around for a bit. I started working part time a month ago and one day I decided to wear a pair of heels. I lasted till after lunch and then my calf muscles cramped up and I couldn't move. I quickly whipped them off and then limped around for 3 days. Needless to say I haven't worn a pair of heels since. It will get better. I feel impatient at times but then have to stop and remind myself that my body has been through a lot. It's great that you are going out with your daughter and that you have a long weekend trip to look forward to. Have you heard of the entertainment book? It is a book with a lot of discounts on restaurants, movies, activities and more. I've been buying it for the past couple of years and found that I've done things I normally wouldn't have. I think it cost $50 and the proceeds went to the cancer council. Have a great day Reena ... View more
