Me And My Cancer Adventure

[Loloma]

Hang in there Froggie, your fighting spirit is an inspiration to so many.

I think of you often, even though my visits to the forum are sometimes sporatic.

Many, many :hug::hug:'s

Hi Froggie, just stopping by to say that I'm thinking of you and hoping today is a good day.

 

[Froggie]

With my friends dying of cancer, this has been like an open wound for PTSD to «infect» it. It's been a real PTSD festival ... dissociation, flashbacks, nightmares (with cannibalism!:arghh;), intrusive thoughts, anxiety+++, numbness, isolation, head aches ... oh man, what a combo. Been needing sleeping pills to help me through this. Now I have just one friend who is left, and it shouldn't be long. But it's him that's going to affect me the most as it is the same cancer as me. So this projects me in my futur ... double :arghh; ...

The injections I'm taking to bring up my white blood cell count is giving me an awful lot of pain in my bones .... really hurts and wakes me up at night.

So sorry for your suffering, so glad to hear that you are still fighting on and as MD says "pulling towards life". I've missed you.

Very sorry to read about the loss of your friends with cancer. Anticipating grief coupled with your own situation is especially rough. Your cup (PTSD cup) runneth over. I'm sorry that your dealing with grief and treatement side effects, not sure what to say but I'm here to support you gal.

Omg Froggie. It certainly is raining on your portion of the planet! I hope you feel a bit better today. Try to remember some of those wonderful grounding techniques you have encouraged all of us to use.
Thinking of you.

(((Froggie))), darling, tell me, us. You are not alone.

Thank you sweet ((((KP)))), yes I will share, but I often feel so numbed up I can't reach my feelings. Like everything is just not reachable these past few weeks.

I had a good weekend .... Saturday, birthday party for one of my grandsons .... Sunday had friends over in the afternoon, laughed like kids, did me some good. And yesterday (Monday), my white blood cells were up enough for my treatment.

Today and tomorrow will be busy days. Just hope that we can catch one another soon, miss those chats that we had.

Froggie,

Glad to hear that you had a good weekend. Always heard that "laughter is the best medicine" and I have to agree, as it definitely can make a person feel instantly better. :)

PTSD and cancer is not a good mix. Sometimes I think keeping the PTSD in managed, is harder than handling the cancer treatments.

:hug:
