I'm sure this will probably/possibly get deleted, but for the moment I just want to shout at some clouds, and given I only physically know 2 of you I thought this is as good a place as any. The last 18 months has been utter hell, starting with stomach cramps and ending up with holes in my stomach, chemo - zero stars, would not recommend - and currently now radiochemo.

If anyone is vaguely interested there's some words here.

I'm utterly exhausted and yet can't sleep. What is that even about?

Still on the curative track, and it's looking good. Initial 6 months of chemo was cut short to 3 - which is, apparently, a good thing. Wasn't explained like that, it read like a 'omfg we need to get you to radio' but that may have been my brain.

Anyway, I'm exhausted. If anyone has any cool or funny dog videos my eyes & brain would be very appreciative.
 
Wishing you a full and speedy recovery

Having witnessed my wife go through it twice with the pain and distress that caused it her, our family and friends all I can say is everyone will be willing you through. I know (not first hand but from a very close second hand, being at her side for every treatment) that the treatment is terrible, painful and feels like anything but it's doing you good. Hang in there, what seems like an eternity now will pass.

All the very very best mate.........

Glad you seem to be on the mend. Always a long road ahead after treatment, but focus on the positives - there will always be some. I'm just out the other side of chemo and into regular scans and stuff. Treatment has left me hypothyroid and now have colitis :-D. I now laugh at everything and simply don't give a toss about anything that annoys me and focus on stuff I enjoy, which has had a massive and positive impact on my career. Good luck on the recovery path, stay strong!
 
Just read through your final thoughts, brought back lots of emotions and sums it up for me! Friends are fab!

At my lowest I was found by a groups of friends/colleagues after I'd lost the plot and crawled into a corner behind my desk in work, crying my eyes out, snot everywhere. I still get ribbed for that and that attitude from all really helps to keep my spirits up really.

Even though it is horribly unlucky to have it, Sounds like you were incredibly lucky that it was spotted early enough to treat it and do something about it.

Hope everything works out well.
