Hi, the waiting is not easy. I had a month to wait for confirmation as it all happened between Christmas & New Year. I start chemotherapy & radiotherapy on the 1st February 2023. 
How are you feeling today? X

Wow a month must have been awful I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I feel much lighter now that I know what it is and what the plan is. How are you feeling? Have you had surgery already? X

Like you my head feels full and processing seems much easier now I have facts to work with.

Surgery for me is not viable at this time as the cancer is embedded into the muscle. To remove it would involve taking the muscle too which in turn would result in complete irreversible colostomy so the plan is to eradicate the cancer with radiation & chemotherapy to see if it can be killed off without the need for permanent alternative which will obviously be plan B. Fingers crossed

I am just tired all the time but not in pain. How are you feeling? X

I'm keeping everything crossed for you x I'm okay but I feel tired today I think it's just the affects of the last couple of weeks.  I'm also waking up around 4am or 5am every morning. I was on HRT but they took me straight off it - and thank god they did as the cancer is oestrogen positive - about three weeks ago so I'm probably feeling the affects of that as well x

Be kind to yourself.

Rest up and drink lots of water and healthy foods.

Always allow yourself time to relax your brain aswell as your body. Putting these measures in place is setting your own healthy boundaries in place so your body can adapt to change.

Take care x
