This is so freaking hard at times. Everyone is so busy with life, planning trips, moving on. No one can really appreciate or understand what we are going through. I am strong all day long but fall apart at nighttime.
It’s not only freaking hard, it’s freaking awful! You are allowed to fall apart, and I’m impressed it’s only at night. Your GP can help you with night time wobbles, or you could try herbal I needed quite a lot of support to keep me going and to find my new ‘normal’…if there is such a thing. I ended up not even liking this person I had become, and really grieved for who I was and what I thought I’d lost. What I’ve come to realise is that I’m a very strong person to have come through this treatment, as you are. And it takes real guts and courage to get up each day and carry on. So, here’s to you, ??, a strong and determined woman. X
Hi hurshybear,
you’re right it’s so bloody hard. I fall apart and cry at least 10 times a day, sometimes more. It’s the worst thing to be told. ( I’m only 3 weeks post secondary diagnoses) I start treatment this week and I’m so anxious about it. What I can tell you is the treatments they are giving us are very effective and have good results for a long time which is what we all want. What’s your diagnoses and what treatment are you on? Sending you a big hug xx
It is very hard Hurshybear!!
I am now 6 years from bone mets dx and 8 weeks since I was told the little blitters have decided to pay my liver a visit now too.
As Annie has already said you are strong and you will surprise yourself at just how strong you can be (and already are!) it’s totally fine to have down day’s and break down in tears…we’re allowed too!!!
About 18 months ago I really hit rock bottom and felt like I was losing the plot and my sbn suggested I had some counselling and it was the best thing I did and I’m actually having it again now since the liver progression, it’s not for everyone but has really helped me deal with things, I also take a very low dose antidepressant.
