Wow, good on you. Reading through this thread you seem to not have had the best of times and it's good to now see your running shaping up that you've considered a marathon.
SG88 -- It's so I can take the medal in to Dr Clark and dangle it in front if his eyes and say... "you remember that half marathon I did last year..? well, this is what your treatment lets me do"
I'm ill. I've got flu. I can't run. My marathon training is on hold. I'm feeling weak and tired and fragile. I'm thoroughly pee'd off. The gas man comes today to check all the appliances. Apparently the flue is leaking smoke. He turns the gas to the gas fire off. Not allowed to use it until flue is fixed. To fox flue will cost me £500.
You know what pee's me off the most though..? I was sick and ill. I went through it with no help or support except from here. Mr went to work every fecking day and left me on my own to deal with it. Then when things went pear-shaped because of that he upped and left and left me with a fecking house which is costing me an arm and a leg to run let alone do repairs on. Now it's going to cost a fortune to sort it out. Meanwhile he's sitting there with the new girlfriend waiting for a cheque from me when the house gets sold. Yeah, which I have to sort out as well. It really naffs me off that because I was ill and didn't do anything else, I'm the one who gets fecking lumbered with all the hassle. It's just not fecking fair and I'm fecking sick of it.
Have spent half the evening in tears. Just doesn't seem fair that I get to be the one who is sick and I get to be the one who has to sort everything out and XPJ doesn't even ask how I am anymore let alone what is happening with the house. I know I have a bright new shiney light in my life and I adore him completely bt it shouldn't be down to him to sort out my problems which are left from XPJ's carelessness. It just feels very unfair.
(
And yep, the flu is not helping - can't even cry and weep without coughing and feeling carpy!
But, having said that... last week's xray came back okay and Dr Clark phoned today to say that the bloods only showed the Hb to be down at 9.8 rather than alot lower than that (as usual).
I only just came across this thread. I read as far as message 247 before I realised there was 2876 of them and that I would be sacked if I didn't get back to work (it was supposed to be a five minute break...that was at 10am). Anyway, not sure what has been going on with you lately but I was reading the messages posted while you were diagnosed and in teh early stages of treatment and I just wanted to say, you're an inspiration and I was thrilled right down to the tips of my toes to see your post on the 19/03...three years free, well done lady...hope ur flu is better soon.
Flu is improving. I'm also currently in training for my first marathon. Last year I did a half marathon and took the medal to the Oncology appointment in April. This year my intention is to take a marathon medal - the whole point being so that the Oncologist can say to his patients that he has a lady who he treated 3 years ago and she's just run a marathon. It kinda gives hope to other people who are having treatment that THEIR Doctor has had a tangible success and THEIR treatment works. If I'd had that back 3 years ago I think it would have lifted me immensely because I was pretty young and there was hardly anyone I had known in the same situation as me. All the ladies at my clinic were older and had different problems from me. I think younger people with cancer fight a different fight in addition to the disease. It's not any more difficult or harsh. Just different, with different problems and that's been hard - so having someone who you can say has come through it, is pretty important I think. Right now, for me, I'm still building my life and moving ever forwards and it's different from what it was and I appreciate it a whole lot more! AND... I'm happy and healthy!

Once for the flu,

Flu is unfortunately a great magnifyer for frustrations.
