    Taxi,

    I'm really sorry to read things have been so tough recently. I'm glad you are getting some support to help with the emotional turmoil that the treatment brings. It must be so frustrating for you to have to wait around so much - turning an ok day to such and exhausting one.

    I hope today will be more positive and you can get some rest too.

    lots of hugs,
    Urg xxx

    Oh Taxi! What a terrible, terrible time you've been having. I'm so glad there are people who are on here regularly, or who've come back regularly this last week - I just had my birthday weekend :o so I wasn't around.

    It sounds like the practicalities of the problems with the line have taken over from the deeper emotional pain you've been going through this last week, but of course its always there :grouphug: you've got some great posts since the 14th - from Piquant, duchy, Z, Rising, El, lots. I wish there was something wise and knowledgeable I could say that would make all this go away for you, but there isn't :( , of course :(

    What *can* I say? Well, you know what the logic is - sort of like Z said, if you've made your choice about wanting the chemo, and the fear messages are stopping you doing what you want, that surge of fear needs to be channelled away from you.

    I so wish I could help. Please know that even if I'm not on for a few days, I'm thinking of you, with love :kisses3:

    Taxi although I'm sure its not the worst thing you are going through it seems the 'waiting' around for hours is also taking its toll on you? I was wondering if you could take an ipod or phone loaded with some kind of meditation or maybe with a downloaded book or something? I know Hypno does downloads maybe she could help you with something? I just thought it might be better for you to do something positive with all that frustrating waiting time at the hospitals.

    Take care

    Hi Taxi, haven't been around much lately but thinking of you often. I was wondering along the same lines as KM, perhaps reading or music or meditation might help with the length of the appointments and the wait times.
    I hope you have a restful and happy Christmas with your family xx
