Morning

Hi Josie I understand your feelings. I was very depressed when I got home from hospital after being admitted for several weeks when my pain was being managed and my radiotherapy was being done. I had to stay in hospital because I couldn't walk unaided for a coupe of months. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. I was also on the drugs that you are taking. I do think that they also contribute to the feeling of being overwhelmed and depressed but it does get better. I've found a good counsellor who advocates the practice of mindfulness and this has also helped me cope better with depression and anxiety. There's no magic bullet and it really is a day by day approach and giving yourself the time and space to acknowledge and accept what's now happening to you and your loved ones as a result of this crap disease but I always say don't let cancer rule.

Well I'm home after 8 days of what is called "titration" which is basically establishing the right level of pain relief. So I'm,off MS Contin and on oxycodone and lyrica. Have fallen off the precipice and trying to get back up as feeling weepy from drug changes. Feeling pretty low which isn't like me so will have to try some feel good things. I was looked after like a princess though, maybe I'm missing that! It's hard to be cheery all the time whilst living like this., this is the part of bc that is kept secret.

Hi Josie I don't have experience with pins either but from my reading from an American website called Inspire ladies with ABC have had pain relief. Such a bugger this disease. I'm resting at the moment on the couch as I have to do a few times during the day to manage. Hope the pain gets under control. Sue

Hey Josie

You have a wonderful day out and enjoy fresh air and hopefully lots of love around you.

Good luck if you go down the hip pin track and tell them to hurry up and get them thar drugs under control cause you have some hooning to do.

Thinking of you and wishing you all the best of everything, Mich xoxoox

Josie, can't help with advice or experience with pins in the hips, though I have heard of good results with reinforcement elsewhere. I hope the pain is soon brought under control again and that you can enjoy a lovely day out.

Best wishes.... Pam
