Thanks Lush have a safe and happy Easter and have a ball skiing, we staying home and enjoying a picnic on the waterfront with about 30 of family so will be lovely and relaxing, and fight I will :) And thanks also to Samex, I really am feeling great about this forum and feel better each time I write here,I am usually ok with myself and for the last 6 months everyone has said how positive I am and make them feel comfortable about asking questions about cancer.I am doing the "weekend to end womens Cancer" weekend in October and having been so busy fundraising and pushing myself to train to walk 60km in 2 days, that sometimes I forget that my body just wont do what I want as I have not been able to walk at all for the last week and being always sporty and active I have in the past enjoyed pushing myself. I have a team of 11 family members walking with me for support. now I can talk to other people who feel the same way and on reading other peoples troubles I can realise how I am not so different feeling the way I do makes me feel better. sorry bit of a waffle there but a hundred different thoughts go through my head at once :) Have a happy and safe Easter and thankyou again on taking the time to reply.

Thanks heaps, I used a epson salts warm foot bath last night and that helped but today my very good friend bought me over these slippers that have flaxseed in the bottom and you freeze them or heat them and put spearmint oil on them and they are fantastic because as you said no water involved and just make them feel great.

Wow thanks so much lush, on reading your reply I was in tears by the end as for the last 4 days my feet have been swollen and blistered and so sore that by you saying that you have the same made me realise I am not weak and its normal to have sore feet. I was feeling a bit silly writing on here but after your words I feel lighter in my self and to give myself a break, I have a great friend that I think I will speak to a little more honest, again thanks so much to take the time to reply:) hope you are doing well and much better now?

Hi, I am new to any type of forums, so feel a bit strange was told by my oncologists receptionist who had cancer years ago and used this as way to talk to people going through the same thing. I have had surgery Oct 2012 and am half way through taking Xeloda tablets at home so I am lucky not to have to go to the oncologist ward, but also do not get to meet people who are feeling the same feelings or side affects, I needed a place to be weak and sad if I needed to be,as I feel being a wife and mother of three young adult children and always known as the strong one in my brothers and sisters (my dad still says she will be fine as she is the strong one) that I always need to be happy and positive all the time, which I do think is important for me to be but its hard when I just need to be sad or angry for a bit:)So I figured if I try this forum I don't want sympathy just understanding that I'm not falling to bits just a bit down 🙂 am I normal or just need to smarten up?:)
