Hey Stu glad to hear from you, I agree with you, it doesn't matter what type of cancer you have just the fact that you've been told u have 'cancer' is hard enough to come to terms with, I'm not sure I'm even there yet, I still have lots of 'disbelieving times' i agree that until you have been told u have cancer u cannot appreciate how devastating it is to be told that and then your whole life changes! I'm doing chemo and have been since April i think, I've had about 11 cycles of it at first it was horrific and i ended up so ill i was in hospital for about 9 days, then it settled a bit and then i developed neuropathy so they stopped one of the chemo's that cause it and the chemo hasn't been nearly as so bad since, but i guess that's a trade off, cos im not having that particular chemo treatment now the cancer could be getting worse.. Yes we must look on the bright side though sometimes it's hard to find one I also suddenly lost my mum in July a nd that's hit me hard too, it's been a very rough year so far I hope you are doing okay Deb's ...

Yeah i am always getting told to do as my body wants as in if i need to rest then rest! sleep then sleep! I'm pleased that u have a lot of support as do i, we need it and sometimes LOTS of it, Im pretty tired and fall asleep at the drop of a hat, in the middle of conversations! it puts me off going anywhere in case i cant keep up with everyone and therefore spoil it for others, but at the same time if i continue that i wont do anything!
