Thanks for the update, Mandy
Lonely - yes, even when people around-- because they aren't going through it... I'm wondering if you are getting any counselling? I go to the Cancer Centre and speak to someone there every three or so weeks. It's my chance to 'offload', ask questions, and aim for advice. I take my notepad and take notes (though after Xmas I realised I
d not followed what was suggested... and had a bit of a meltdown...) I joined another Cancer place where I thought i'd go for meditation classes (i went to one before starting chemo) but i'm just not well enough to drive until the last few days of each cycle, and Ihaven't got the gumption to catch buses like i thought i would (it was dream of mine to walk on the beach, but that owuld take a train ride then a tram) but i do borrow books from the cancer place, even when i have to renew -okay my line of chemo just got air so i'll stop typing - today is dragging its feet. are you getting good communication with your oncologist? take a list of questions with you and tick them off when answered. can you takeesomeonein with you to the appointmentns? they could tke notes for you. all the best
