Hi Duke glad to hear you are through it and I agree medicine is a small price to pay.
it is my 2nd round of chemo (1st a year ago) following major surgery twice, a permanent stoma and some chemo for spots on the liver. All worked good and now some enlarged nodes in both groins (the doctor knew they would enlarge at some point) I am starting a new round of chemo to deal with them. Good news is liver unchanged and no other areas found.
I too am mentally battered, although have never actually been ill with the melanoma, just had to recover from surgery. It has been a rollercoaster ride, and right now I am tired of worrying and seeing counsellor to try and get it into perspective and not think about it all the time.

I am enrolled to go to the look good feel better a week tomorrow Maggies centre, Glasgow...but that will depend on the "come down" and if I feel up to it as it's a train ride away!

Macgirl - nurse told me at Maggies too that lots of people live with cancer as a chronic illness. It's only the bad news stories we tend to hear in the media and that can be scary for sufferers. thanks for your good wishes:)

Taxi - how are you?

Troycat...you have been through the mill hun.That's one hell of a lot ..no wonder your head feels battered.The LGFB is lovely and you get a great bag of goodies as well...hope you manage to take advantage of it.


I'm perfectly fine ...thanks.Have just been extremely tired due to finishing rads and being on antibs for 10 days.I have lots of allergies to medications so sometimes even the ones I'm not allergic to have severe side effects.knew I was going to be tired after rads as BCN had warned me I would.

I can vouch for that in my family - loads of cancer in my family, and also loads of 5+ year survivors.

That tired feeling is terrible, have you got support from family/friends?

I slept a bit better last night and one more day of the anti sickness tablets thank goodness..I am a horrible person and hubby gets the brunt, have been really vile today and angry but just can't help it
