It was a very hard period for me. Lost my dad at the beginning of chemo and I have two very young kids so I was literally a walking zombie. I could only gather energy to read the posts and know I wasn’t going through those terrible side effects alone. Sorry I never posted but really appreciate the encouragement I got from the posts from you all. :heart:

Sorry to hear about the glitches you had, glad things are picking up again. Sending you hugs and best wishes :pray:t4:

Yes it’s a great community and you’re so right it helps knowing others are in the same shitty boat and that we’re not alone. Sorry to hear about your Dad, so much to deal with all at once. I hope you’ve got a good support network around you. X

Sorry to hear that. I also lost my Dad in June then got diagnosed in July/August. Was there a link as he went into hospital in May? I’ve been dealing with selling my parents house as Mums in a home and all the admin as Mum has mixed dementia so can’t do anything.

Thank you and so sorry to hear about your loss as well. Must be tough dealing with all that. Better days ahead :heart::heart:

@llybee
Your walking zombie bit resonates. I had (what I realise now) was a bit of a breakdown for weeks after my diagnosis. I ended up on sleeping tablets as well as anti depressants and you’ve had so much to deal with. I hope you are doing a bit better if thats at all possible through this rubbish.
