Hi Lou,
I know how you feel i had to be away from my family for 6 and a half weeks for radiation.I was so stressed about it and worried how they would all cope.
I ended up enjoying the time on my own i missed them like crazy.I spent the first three weeks shopping resting going for coffee and met up with women who were very welcoming to me,when they found out i was on my own they invited me for tea and outings.It was great being from the country to a big city not knowing anyone was very daunting.
The last 3 weeks i got hit badly with fatigue and burns.I spent a lot of time sleeping and reading.But i welcomed the time to myself after chemo and surgeries i think i needed it,
Good luck with it all and try and find some positives out of it.5 weeks will be over before you know it.
cheers Annie x
