An inspirational talk

Hi Cara,
To be honest, I wasn't too sure about the talk, as I am not in remission myself so I can't be so reflective and upbeat about it all as a gift - more of a time bomb for me I think LOL.
However, it is great to hear you are remission and that your physical symptoms are minimal.
May your remission be long.
Love Lizzie

Hi Cara!
I have not listened to the talk yet, need time to concentrate. They do not use the term remission with me, though I have a similar history to yours. I am experiencing some quite severe discomfort under my left ribs and I am, to be honest s**t scared. I have rung my nurse who is chasing my scan results with a view to gettinG my gynaecologist to look at them. I think I might be with Lizzie on this one though I shall listen when I take my rest later.

Sorry to hear you are worried Margaret. I am a bit the same as you with a persistent pain - mine is below my right ribs! I am seeing the onc on Mon.
I keep telling myself its a muscle pull. We need warm weather.
Love Sarah

Hi Margaret and Twin,
I had odd pains yesterday, feel better today though - I think it gets worse as the day goes on. A big kiss each for you both and a very gentle hug.
Love Lizze

Hi Sarah! Don't we just! Paracetemol is not touching the b****r today! I am going to the theatre tonight to distract myself!

Hito you all
I too have been getting pain just below right and left rib cage. Sometimes one side sometomes both. Have had it since chemo. ? Chemo, ? spleen or liver Have bits on both, ? bowelly, muscular, adhesions who knows. I don't think it is worse since my ct scan so am keeping fingers crossed.
Good luck all of you.
Love and hugs

I am doing good like you Cara however, when I was having my chemotherapy I met a young women in her early 30`s who had a new born baby and a small 2yr old toddler. She had breast cancer, we sat together throughout our chemo every 3 weeks and then occassionally we bumped into one another in clinic. THEN I didn`t see her for a while.
At my last oncology check up in January I saw my friend in clinic again - she was not looking very well and using a zimmer frame to steady her walk, I knew she was not doing so good. Her cancer had come back, but this time she had 8 brain tumours - she was so brave in telling me she was going to die, she told me about her children and her fears leaving them behind. I sat and squeezed her hand with tears streaming down my face. I have never met anyone as brave as she was that day.
So darling sweet lady, I can`t listen to the talk, I know it will leave me in bits, I am never as brave for others as I have been for myself, strange that but a fact.
I can`t do tears right now, had enough of those on and off to last me a life time.
I try to do things that make me happy and laugh, laughter is what I need right now. My heart goes out to anyone and everyone who is involved with cancer.
Maybe one day I will be in a better frame of mind to listen to the talk.

Wishing you all my love from Tina xxx

I see your point Tina! I don't do tears either! My ma dealt with tears with "if you don't stop I'll give you something to cry for" as a result I find public tears hard to do! Sometimes at night though ................!
