Does anyone know the American email address which is the same as our Health Unlocked.

I am sure I read in one of the replies someone quoted the American email address for the above but I can't find it. Can anyone assist?

There's the American Cancer Survivor's Network at csn.cancer.org/

There are forums for many forms of cancer.

I watch the USA network out of interest - haven't contributed as yet.

Yes, I get low sometimes, but the solution for me is to go out and do something. I have dogs, so walking them, gardening, or taking up a new 'thing' you've not had time to do before cancer. Mine was tennis which I love, but haven't played for years. I'm rubbish, but I really enjoy it and it helps with fitness. I found that after chemo I had tendonitis in every joint in my body, so it was tempting to stop doing anything physical, but I just kept on with ice packs and working through it, and now I'm less crippled each time!!

The key is to open new doors if you can - take up a course of study, read, engage with something that makes you feel better about yourself. If you can, find someone to talk to about how you feel- your nurse specialist, perhaps? Talking changes the internal to the external, and lets you change how you feel.

Best wishes,

I.

Thanks Isadora I have just bought a swimming costume as I lost a lot of weight so I will get back to doing that. I have an old dog and take him for walks. I certainly feel being outside helps.

You are a real trouper and I will take heart from you.

I have started writing to get my worries out and I am seeing a specialist nurse soon. Thanks for your helpful advice.

Best wishes
