Hi kurup, no you are definitely not on your own. I to have Crohn's have had it since I was 13ish I'm now 48. Long story cut short I had a bilateral mx in nov and finished 15 rads 2 weeks ago, I was supposed to be having chemo but because of the medication I was on for the crohns the oncologist changed the plan. It's all been very tiring and draining and now I'm at the end of my treatment feeling a bit lost. It's so nice to come on here and get support and help. Sending hugs x ... View more

Hi amanda10, my follow up appointment is on the 18th may. I don't know if that is the norm but the oncologist said because I couldnt have the chemo they would be keeping a close eye on me!

Hi janesi, thank you so much for your post. I am trying to get on top of this but feeling very down at the moment, my treatment finished 2 weeks ago and I feel at a bit lost.

I had 3 weeks of Rads and thought after the treatment had finished I would feel a little better! you have given me a bit of hope that things can get better xx ... View more

Just wanted you to know you are not on your own. I have just finished 3 weeks of rads and I think people around me think that's it all over and done with! If only it was that simple xx ... View more

Hi, I am TN I had a bilateral mastectomy on the 19th of nov and was planned to have chemo and then rads. I also have Crohn's disease and because of then medication I am on for that I can't have chemo! On one hand relieved that I'm not having chemo but a small part of me is afraid that not having it there might be a chance of it coming back elsewhere! x ... View more
