I hate being a Diabetic and having Cancer Injections. I totally hate very long cold winter nights, I don't do excersise as I am too laid back to care about it.
My report for the last year as been chaotic. I have been suffering with mental health problems that needed looking at and is still on going. But in march this year I was suffering with severe pain in my stomach and I passed loads of blood so I had a Colonoscopy and the doctors who did my Colonoscopy removed 5 tumors from my colon. But there is another 7 to be removed in due course I have got prostate Cancer so to be honest I live on my own and I am scared that if something does happen to me as I have no family or friends. My left leg feels like concrete and is very swollen as his my left foot but having lymphodemia doesn't help. But there is someone out there who is suffering more than me. Somebody once said to me the rate you are going you will be dead and I replied when please hurry up. I hate being like this I use to be a very joyful and a happy person but not now.

So sorry you're going through so much. No the same as family or friends I know, but do you have any support from Macmillan Nurses, or Cancer support nurses from the hospital that you can contact?

So sorry to hear of your other medical conditions which, in my opinion, put diabetes down the priority list.
However high sugars are known to cause low mood and the relationship of sugars to cancers is dubious so to have a low carb lifestyle may well have benefits in this areas
And, to make you grin, when I type "deltic man" it comes up as "delicious man " which is how I will always think of you now:)

Thank you for your lovely reply to me nobody as ever called me Delicious before I use to be called Catweazel due to my very long unkempt hair and wind swept look.

Hello hopeful34 I have people who keep a eye on me just to make sure I am OK and if any problems arise. Thank you for your kind words

A little bit of kindess to yourself would go a long way too. Be gentle on yourself in these tough times. Don't treat your body like a food bin, you are so much more than that!
 
I will take note of that MrsA2 and hopefully I will be treating myself to a new camera or a new xbox series x console.
 
@Antje77 could you bring over his other post and my replies from the other thread too please. :)
Yes, of course!
You must have replied while I was working out how to move posts in the upgraded forum, and then I didn't do a double check on the source thread after finally managing to move those posts!

Give me a minute to make me do the same magic with the other posts. :cool:

Thank you Antje77 for letting me know you are doing a grand and sterling job on this forum just like all the other people on this forum. Me being on the Diabetic forum as a member is like having a brand new family and brand new loads of friends. Which makes me very humble to all of you.
 
Yes, of course!
