I’m fed up with…
Having no energy
Doing nothing all day
feeling useless
being totally skint
treatment
sympathetic faces asking me how I am (Sh*t in case you’re asking)
Side effects
being fat
feeling unfeminine
having chemo mouth
chemo brain
forgetting everything
having weird sleep patterns
being bald
having one boob smaller than the other
my life being on hold
Anyone who is FED UP please join in and “get it off your chest” (so to speak)
Oh and…
I’m fed up with…
Cancer - cancer is BORING as hell.
Fed up with being told how brave I am. Like I have a choice!
no hair
no eyebrows
no eyelashes
aching legs & feet
sore fingers
plasters on sore fingers to keep nails from catching until they fall off

Im fed up with cancer being in my face,it seems to be everywhere. Im watching The Removal Men on tv & guess what they’re moving! Yep, the cancer lab in Maidstone, can’t even watch a programme about removal men! Breast cancer,aarrgghh! xx
Flushes from steroids
Lack of sleep
Sore toes
Sore fingers
No hair
Sore mouth
CANCER!
I’m also fed up with being fed up 
Yes the bravery thing - HOW DO YOU KNOW I’M BRAVE???
Am I brave when I’m in agony on the loo, crying from contractions, yelping “oh god no, please not again I can’t take it anymore” ???
Im fed up of people saying “Sorry” when they find out I have Cancer, they didnt put it there so why they sorry. Also people who say Im brave, Im not brave, I have no choice but to go through with this.
having forgotten what it’s like to feel NORMAL!
With trying to explain how I am feeling when I am NOT feeling so “positive” and am scared and being told NOT to be “negative” ( hope that makes sense)
Not feeling at all feminine
Being reminded of cancer everyday
xx
Smiling when people ask me how I am ,when really I am feeling sh*t but don’t want to upset them !
All of the above and husband
I’m fed up trying to be everything to everyone. I just want to be left alone for a while. I want to shout or wallow with no need to apologise. I would just like to be me. Chris
I’m fed up of putting on a brave face for everyone …
thanx for this thread-i’m fed up of hearing-so and so had it and she’s fine-i don’t ####### care-sorry-my next door neighbours sisters friend had it and she’s working on the markets now-so ####### what----ooh— am i awful ??? i don’t ####### care-lol
and I’m fed up of inefficient hospitals - gave blood yesterday (over hour on two buses to get to hospital) and today phoned for results before taking chemo tablets - wrong instructions had been given about blood tests so will I please come back - aaaaahhhhhhh!!! Don’t the realise we have limited energy and want t have more in our lives than trips of hospitals. I sense another complaint coming on - and submission of taxi fare to get there- that might make them think!!
Sorry for rant - tiredness and inefficient medics are a bad combination… think I’ll abandon the brave face when I arrive
I’m fed up of feeling fed up!!! of being tired, sick, no hair, sore nails, but most of all I’m fed up of it being the summer holidays and not having the energy to take my kids places, and saying to them we’ll have to see how I am!! they were supposd to go to their cousins yest to play in their giant pool …but where they live (about 30 miles away) had a load of horseflies around biting people and they were causing infected bites so that had to be cancelled as I’ve got my last tax monday and DO NOT want any delays!!!
BUT MOST OF ALL I AM SICK TO THE BACK OF MY TEETH WITH CHEMOTHERAPY!!! XX
with the fact that it has proved pretty much impossible to find any mastectomy bras in my size (30D) unless I want to pay £40.00 or more for the privilege! I’ve spent literally hours looking so far without any success at all.
Now that my rad burns have healed I was really looking forward to wearing something other than cotton camisoles but I am so fed up that I can’t find anything that either fits or I can actually afford. Which means I am reduced to wearing stuff that doesn’t fit properly and feels uncomfortable.
Which of course means I am also fed up with:
Hair that is taking so long to grow back
continuing to lose finger and toe nails
all the horrible scars
not feeling feminine
and yes, just like the rest of us, totally fed up and peed off with cancer!
…my boss. He’s actually a nice guy BUT he doesn’t seem to understand that I’m back on a phased return cos I’m knackered after 8 months of surgery, chemo, rads; not to mention ongoing herceptin and tamoxifen. He talks as if the phased return has been dreamt up by the occupational health unit doctor and we don’t have to stick to it (e.g. if he wants to hold a team meeting as I am about to go home at 3pm, of course I’ll stay).
