    Not much change. I am a bit thinner and weaker. Trying to keep calm and not panic over my situation is my biggest challenge.

    Thank you. Nothing much has changed. I am thinner, slower and still can't eat. I am being kept as comfortable as possible. It's a strange existence, like I am not really alive anymore.

    I am comfortable, pain is minimal. I am scared at times, but ok. My husband is reading the Little House on the Prairie seriously to me in the afternoon and that helps too.

    Unfortunately the immunotherapy didn't work so nature is taking its course. Your prayers are welcome.

    Thank you. I am very tired now and spend much of my time in bed. I have lost a lot of weight. At least I don't have to think about my blood sugar levels anymore. Your messages mean a lot to me.

    Macmillan and the palliative care team have been brilliant. I now now have PIP, ESA, a blue badge and a stool for the shower. Being self employed I didn't think I qualified for ESA, but I do. On Friday a social worker connected to the Severn Hospice is coming to discuss help, practical and...

    I am sorry to not respond. I am not getting emails about this thread. I don't know why and lack the energy to find out. My anxiety meds are starting to work, so I feel more like myself emotionally. It's not widely known, even among the medical professionals, that suffering abuse in early...

    New evidence shows it's a waste of time.

    Iam making a general point, not aimed at anyone. I want to respond to the point about DNR's. I have recently done mine. All and any suitable treatment will not be stopped, even though I am terminally ill. They will only be stopped if my health means they are going to be ineffective or the risk...

    I am going ahead with the immunotherapy. I am scared, but its my only option of treatment. The potential side effects look grim, but then, the side effects listed on any medication look grim too. At the moment we are just existing, going from one appointment to the other. Yesterday I started...

    Thank you. Immunotherapy won't cure me, but hopefully it will give me a better quality of life and more time.

    Sorry for not replying, I didn't get email notifications. I have been offered immunotherapy. Anyone had this, or know someone who has? I am still trying to come to terms with things.

    I am back in hospital. I went in on Thursday with a chest infection. My left lung is surrounded by pleural fluid and has collapsed. I am being looked after and comfortable. My infection is being treated so then they can try to drain my left lung and reinflate it. They are also sorting out some...

    Good point. My mind is racing to the end months of life, trying to focus on the now is hard. I am so scared of suffering.

    Thank you. It counts for much. I am still lapsing into panic mode and finding it hard to find my courage and acceptance.
