Oh Taxi
Have a hug
Please remember it's OK to feel scared and there is NO way you should beat yourself up over feeling that way. Yes it's nice to be brave for your family but if it's tough let them know your fears , air them -a fear shared is never so scary than when you keep it swirling around your head.
Maybe for round one of chemo brave worked -but it knocked the stuffing out of you and your head and body are saying-Find different stratagies for round 2 . It could be drugs, or meditation.....or hypnosis.....or an empty room to beat seven kinds of heck out of pillows and shout and scream -or a combination -you won't know til you try.

Hi Taxi,
I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Don't know if this is mad, inappropriate or what but would you fancy being my virtual chemo buddy. Mine is back too and I'd do anything not to go back into chemo but we both have to. I get my new treatment plan next Monday.
I'm here 24/7 for you. PM me if you want my mobile and maybe we can help each other through this.
You were a rock for me first time round...your turn to lean a little.

councillor phoned today and am seeing him wednesday and he's getting me an urgent consult with psychiatric team too
thanks for all your help and lovely comments ...I'm trying to absorb them all but my head is still in bits.
I can't get the thoughts of dying or cancer out of my mind...it's hard to explain what I mean...I'm sort of scared of dying on one hand but suicidal on the other it's all very scary0 -
Taxi, at least they've heard how desperate you are, how scared you are. Hope you can find some relief soon xxx
Kissjenn, so sorry to hear your news too - I hope you have support around you as well as on here xxx2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Hi taxi... I am in and out at the moment had to come down to my mum`s in Cornwall she has not been too good... Kissjenn so sorry to hear about your news.. really awful..:( Maybe the support you can give each other might help you both... Just want you both to know I am thinking of you.... Last night I got a phone call to say my son had wrote off his car. Black ice, not driving dangerously... and I thought bloody hell how much is this going to cost.... Then my son told me the policemen at the scene.. said that looking at the car, he was very lucky that he was able to just walk away... and I felt sick... So if my debt accumulates because he needs some extra help stuff it... Life can be difficult so we just have to try and stick together and support each other as much as we can... hope you are feeling a little better:o0
