Haven't been on the site for a while as been in and out of hospital, more tests and bloods. Good news is I am stable just now. Only problem is the breathlessness which us causing all sorts of problems so Oncologist looking at putting me on steroids.

Hope you are all doing well and keeping as healthy and happy as you can with this crappy illness.

Love & Hugs to you all.

Hi Lainey,

I was sorry to hear that you have breathlessness and it's causing problems. I do hope that the steroids help and you are soon feeling a bit more chipper.

My cancer returned in December and I am now 1/2 way through a 4 cycle treatment plan. They have told me that they no longer expect to cure it but hopefully stablise it. I feel tired as I expected on this treatment but thank God no vomiting which I suffered from dreadfully in Cistplatin - they have changed that to Carboplatin.

You're right, this is a crappy illness and one which seems to think up new ways of getting round the treatment.

Keep positive Lainey - I'm thinking of you and sending a whole shed load of strengthening hugs.

Love,

Tilstongal X

Hello Tilstongal

Sorry to hear your cancer has returned, long may your treatment keep you going as they are no longer able to cure. I have been told mine is not curable either so we are in the same boat.

I am constantly tired and have to rely on my family now for getting me out and about and dressed as suffering a lot with the secondaries. Cannot even make dinner now, just falling to pieces lol.

Hopefully the breathlessness ceases and I will get some respite. I hate this illness it is one chronic pain in the posterior lol.

I hope you tolerate the remainder of your treatment and send you huge hugs, positive thoughts and healing my friend.

Take care

Oh my dear Lainey what a terrible time you are having - my heart really does go out to you. I hope that the steroids work and you get some relief from these awful symptoms.

You're quite right we are very much in the same leaky boat.

I send you hugs, prayers and very positive thoughts. Please do keep in touch.

Love,

I will keep in touch. Just got to go through breathing tests next month before Oncologist puts me onto steroids.

Sending you hugs, prayers, positive thoughts and healing back to you.

Love Lainey xxx 🚣
