I'm 2.5 years after having a major op for cervical cancer. I then had another 8-9 procedures for adhesions, removal of an ovary, went into sudden chemical menopause, and most recently underwent a spine surgery that didnt work. I'm in so much pain in the mornings I often feel sick. Now, I've developed a huge hard lump under my right arm which the doctor is suspicious of, cancer wise, so am seeing a surgeon on the 22nd.
I recently got away for a cheap all inclusive week with a female friend and just laid by the pool relaxing. It was wonderful. I managed to half my drugs because of the heat, and felt better than I have in years. I'm not working and not on disability benefits though if I get very unwell I might have to. Anyway, my friend phoned yesterday and asked if I fancied doing it again - in a couple of weeks! I asked dh and he said I'd just been away and was being unfair-our kids are at uni and we are very comfortably off. We didnt go anywhere posh it was £350 but if I end up with chemo i won't be able to travel for up to a year, so this could be my best shot.
Am I being unreasonable to ask?
