Feeling low
I am very low today At my last meeting with Dr at Cancer clinic I was told my cancer will not go away, but will be kept under control, I did not ask how this will be done, will do so next time. Chemo does make me so tired ,but today I seem to have pulled some muscles in my leg and one hand,its extremely painful to use my hand. I had to go on a few buses on Friday and Saturday and had difficulty getting on/off them with my walker, so seems I did something then. At times I feel like sitting down and having a good cry,but its not my way. My son helps a little but he has health conditions himself ,I cant keep saying Can you /Will you, so Im muddling through the best I can and hoping things will get better

Chin up Deylon you are more than a man than I will ever be, and many on here must admire you for what you are carrying, keep soldiering on mate and don't for one minute think that you are putting on your son, he will surely do what he can for you, when he can. we would all have done the same for our Dads when we could, wouldn't we ? . I know it must be so hard for you,. and whose to know if you have a good cry now and then ? if it helps,. do it !. and if not keep coming on here and get some of it off your chest ,... as the song says You aint heavy,

Deylon, first let me say that my friend was in a similar position to yourself, over a year ago, and they regularly check her condition....... so far her tumours have shrunk, so don't worry too much!
I am sure you will remember that I was not impressed with the care you were receiving, but the only way to deal with that is keep asking questions and making sure you get answers and the care you need.
I know the Chemo isn't good , but it can help with the cancer, so try to grit your teeth and put up with the bad days... because when it stops you will gradually start to feel better.
I am sending a big hug
and please don't forget that we are always here when you need cheering up.By the way, sometimes a good cry can help so don't hold back the tears when you need to cry, because they help to release the pressure you are feeling.
