Having one of those........... will burst into tears at the slightest thing days.......How do they just tell you your tm's are up compared to last test & then send you on your way saying we'll test again in a month??? How do they be so blase & let you just suffer & worry & not sleep for 4 weeks???I feel so well......... I dont know how this can be happening to me, most of the time I cope well but today.... I feel feel like I can cope at all......Sorry girls, I have no one else to vent to, I dont want to worry any of my family for a month.......

That's alright @Cate64, vent away. We're here for you.On days like this, it's useful to refer to your wellness toolbox. What kinds of things do you like to do that make you feel good? Do you like to escape in a good book or a funny movie?

@Cosette_BCNA usually I can snap myself out of it pretty quickly but today Im really struggling big time.... trying though..

Cate - that is my world today! Who the, what the, please all leave me alone! Mine isn't just the BC it is the frustration of a lot of things that all add up to the same emotion! I am my own worse enemy today and that is not good and so I share this bit of wisdom with you and I hope it puts things into perspective for both of us. You take care xx

Hi CateI'm having the same day...Results for my last scan due tomorrow and feeling sick to my stomach with worry, teary and the rest of it...Wish it was over already and it was tomorrow night...Good LuckBarb

Hi @Cate64, I bet every single one of us on this forum has days just like yours. I posted something similar over the weekend about a lady who was concerned about her Mum's tumour markers increasing. Essentially I spoke about mine fluctuating to a high of around 900 last January to a "low" of mid 60's in May (following radiotherapy and start of adjuvant treatment exemestane & everolimus). This went up a little to 75 in August however I was pretty shocked when I went back in November and it had doubled to 140 !My oncologist assured me that she looks at it from an holistic viewpoint. How I look, how well I feel, pain under control in addition with all the other results from the bloods - everything else was "in the black" - good results. I see my oncologist next Monday and so I am now on the countdown and approaching the appointment with fear and trepidation. You have shared some of your amazing achievements with us when you feel like a warrior, feel so well and can conquer the world and then something like this comes along and completely sets you back. It knocks the wind out of your sails. We have all been here before and that's why we go on the forum to give a shout out and say "I'm not having a good day today". No need to apoligise for venting - you are not doing that - just sharing your fears as you don't want to worry your family. Big hugs to you xxSheryl
