[Closed] Charly's life

Hi Charly, I feel sorry for not checking up on your diary sooner nad posting some positive thoughts for you when you were goin through so much! I'm so sorry **hugs**

You are very reslient and I am sure you will get through this, just focus on the positives, don't let things get you down, and sometimes even altenative therapies like mediation can be helpful too. You'll get through this hon I'm so glad you've got support at home and a lot of support on here too.

Well done for not gambling as now more than any would be a time to just think may as well! Well you really did beat it and I think you will beat the cancer too.

good luck you're in my thoughts

Hi Charly,

Great to hear from you and ditto nwn with the positive vibes & strength to you from me in bucket loads!

"Keep smiling and enjoy the small things in life like family, the sun, the wind the birds etc."

I couldn't agree more Charly and really until last year I had been so caught up in the rat race of life that I rarely noticed the beautiful part of the country that I live in.

It was always here, in front of me, just waiting. Now I see it... the colours, smells and sounds, it is what life is really about.

Luv ya

Thanks Jac Ginny and Dan for your posts.

Today I am feeling ill. I suppose it is part of the course of this horrid treatment.

I am all over the place. I want to rest but feel too agitated. So I get up and do something but find I am too tired to attempt it or I do try it and then have to stop half way through.

My legs feel as if they are living their own life. No matter what I do do, they ache, feel like the nerve ends are about to jump out of my skin.

It's irritating the hell out of me and I can't do anything about it. Grrrrr.......I am glad this is only meant to last for a week before things go back up and get better. Don't think I could cope with this for too long. Can't go out much this week either because I have to watch out for infections etc. I am at the highest risk this week and have no protection.

Right moan over..concentrate ...be positive...at least I know that it will be worth it in the end.

Keep fighting your demons fellow cg's and keep up the "One day at a time philosophy" It works in all aspects of life, not just for stopping gambling.

I am also proud to say that I have stopped smoking on the 6th March and am still smoke free. Again with the help of ODAAT.

I stopped because it was better for my op...and boy ..am I glad I did.

Not sure when I have the energy to write again but I will try to stay in touch and try and read and write some of your diaries as and when I can.

God Bless you all

Charly 🙂

Hi Charly,

Really sorry to read about your cancer. But so good it has been detected early. Sharon's sister was in a similar position and I pleased to report has made a full recovery.

Now with the support of family & friends, the excellent doctors & nurses. I know you will soon be celebrating your BIG day with your intended. Yet more reason to enjoy life to the full

Thinking of you Charly ((((())))))))

Some radox in a nice bowl of warm water or foot massager should help with the restless legs ......... know how you feel girl.

STAY STRONG Charly ODAAT

I will say a prayer tonight for you and your family.

God Bless

Hi Charly, Just caught up with your diary, very sorry to hear of your illness. Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you. Stay positive. Much love, Ostrich x

Thanks to All of you for your continued support and prayers.

Today is a better day. Not so much tingling in the legs. My angel and I went for a walk earlier which helped the funny feeling in the legs.

We walked where we knew there wouldn't be a lot of people. I still have to be careful around crowds until this coming Wednesday. From then on all the blood cells should start to rebuild and should be back to normal by the following Wednesday(13th) ready for the next lot of chemo(taht day).

And then we have the same cycle again for another 5 times. The last chemo is scheduled for the 4th August.

If the next 5 lots are the same as this first one has been, then I am positive about them. The side effects have not been as bad as was predicted and I am very grateful for that. The next big thing will be my hair falling out. They say that would happen at the end of week 2. So far I still have my hair. Well, half of it. I had my long hair(almost to my hips) cut(now on my shoulders) and donated what was cut to the wig makers for children with leukeamea.

I thought as it would fall out anyhow I may as well give it to someone who can make use of it. I know that I have a choice of a wig and am grateful to charities like McMillan and all the others that are out there.

I am trying to organise a sponsored hair shave at the moment and am hoping that I can do this at my work and that we can raise a bit of money for McMillan. I have asked one of my colleagues to organise it and to collect the money because I still cannot handle cash very well. If it can be arranged at short notice I am having my head shave between the 6th and the 12th May. Keep you fingers crossed that my bosses agree.

You all keep to your recovery programme. Stay safe

God Bless

Charly xx 🙂 🙂 🙂

Sending you lots of love and hugs Charly. take care and enjoy the weekend ith your angel, I am here at home with mine 🙂

Love

I am SO very sorry that I have not been around in a while, and am just now learning of your battle. You are one of the dearest people on here to me, and I'm just devastated that I haven't been here for you from the beginning of this! Please know that my prayers and every ounce of strength I can send your way across the ocean are yours!

You are a fighter, girl, and with the help of your Angel and your family, I believe in my hear you're going to come through this shining.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do from here.

All my love,

Anna
