    So sorry that you have to go through this.  Counselling and mediation helped me a bit.  Some days are going to be horrible, some ok, some good.  And then hopefully you get better and life goes on again.  Having cancer and going through the treatment is a profound experience and it changes me and others I know.  Some changes are definitely for the better.  Good luck and hold on.  As someone wise said to me when I struggled with chemo, you don’t have to like it, you just have to do it!  Karen

    How wonderful that your friend was able to give you the lift, just when you needed it, @Trikki2

    Awesome.

    One day at a time, deep breaths .... do what you can, as you can - no pressure on yourself!

    Take care xx

    Me too @Trikki2. Internally I hold myself to standards that no one else even comes close to. That nasty little voice in my head... Oi! So absurd.

    Yes the standards we hold ourselves to but give everyone else leeway on!

    today I gave in and got my cleaners to fold washing and sort socks just so I can stand the sight of our house that had descended into chaos (more than normal) while I was in hospital. Would I tell others to do that - yep but me ha ha ha no

    Hi there @Trikki2 ...sorry for the delay in joining the thread...was on granny  duties and just got home again. I'm also known as The Nutty Knitter and here is a partially completed hat...I'll bet you have no idea what it will say when completed...
