Thank you all for sharing your stories and positivity. Its very much appreciated and NEEDED!. Ron, 48 cycles of chemotherapy makes me feel like my journey should be a walk in the park. I take my hat off to you! Im currently struggling with anxiety and depression. Until now I was trying to be pro-active about over coming the anxiety e.g. talking to a phycologist, using different techniques, keeping busy. But now I feel I can no longer cope on my own so Im off to see my GP about possible antidepressants and/or anxiety meds. Has anyone else required this type of medication during there treatment? Did it help? Thanks again, Ria ... View more

Hi there, My name is Ria, I am 30 years old with an amazing partner and 2 wonderful young children. I was diagnosed with Stage C (cancer is found in the lymph nodes in the area of the bowel) bowel cancer in september 2012, under went surgery shortly after and am now having 12 cycles of chemo. I am finding it really difficult to stay motivated to continue on with the chemo, although I am half way through my treatment. I am usually a very active person so I am struggling being so reliant on other people. Im very fatigued so I spend 5-6 days doing very little and its driving me nuts. Does anyone else feel like their life is in limbo? thanks, Ria xo ... View more
