Fair enough, I reckon - it's all any of us can do. And we all want our 'bits' to be bigger than they are. Somehow, they are never big enough for any of us!

I started a few- then lost the will to carry on with them! I got screened out of lots of them on one site and then there would be none for ages.

the good thing about yougov is they don't screen you out but it does take a long time to reach payout level.

Taxi, talk to your McMillan nurse. This stage is very common when the treatment phase finishes, and there is help out there to help you deal with it. When you are busy with the treatments, seeing the doctors and nurses all the time...you don't have time to think. A lot of people feel the rug has been pulled from underneath them when it all stops...and you are left wondering about the future, and trying to put some order back in your life, because it has changed forever. Life will never be the same after such a major event for you and your family. Relationships change, how you view the future changes, even your debt free focus has gone. Talking to someone who understands that will help you get your head round it all.

^^^ Wot she said ^^^

Taxi - The Rave last year was meant to draw a line under all the carp for me since the Flood...but after the event I have been really struggling...(as you can see from my (lack of ) posts these last few months and how sporadic/disorientated they are )

Dearest Taxi......You have put ALL your energy and focus into the radio/chemo etc these past few months....and you have done brill :T:T...but suddenly your previous focus is pulled out from under you. You have been completely depleted in terms of your reserves and ANY type of change now (no matter how positive) will still require energy that you "don;t have enough of" atm to be able to deal with it in your usual competent way.

It WILL take you a while to readjust..

(I' now 6 months on from The Rave and I;m only just beginning to feel able to take my head out of my bottom :rotfl::rotfl:)

Please DO speak to Macmillan......be gentle with yourself......and keep posting on here....no matter how infrequent......it DOES hlep (I can attest to that)...and no matter how thin you think the thread is becoming, there is a real network of support and empathy on here for you and we don;t care how often (or infrequently) you post....you are ALWAYS in our thoughts and hearts.....and we are always sending you our very best of vibes.

Baby steps Hun .....(put those whips away )..and have some loving licks from the piggies

Much love
