Emotions

I am riding an emotional rollercoaster so I thought that this would be the right place to admit it. 

I was diagnosed with NHL in march & can't have chemo because of cirrhosis. My health has been bad for years & I have pain when sitting so since diagnosis I have spent much of my time lying in bed in my denial bubble reading my kindle. Last saturday I joined this forum & my denial bubble burst. Emotions all over the place. I have just spoken to a very nice lady at Macmillan who after having a long chat advised me to get my GP to request a visit from a Macmillan nurse. Feeling better for reaching out

  • Good morning Seabird,

    I am not surprised your emotions are all over the place. Having been a member of this forum for about 4 1/2 years I know it can be daunting making your first post. I know I was concerned I might say the wrong thing. I was so pleased to get a reply and have never regreted joining this great forum.

    I wish you all the best and anytime you need to talk just post on here, Brian.

In October we had news that my mother bowel cancer was inoperable that it's got in here blood hearing them words I didn't know what to do . I remember sitting on my bed and looking at this web site and thought I need to tell someone my head was all over place . I had replay someone give they time in reading my post and give me advise . I'm so greatful for that I feel like I'm not alone I have post few on here when mother was rushed into hospital and the support I had I'm really glad I did .
