Running out of patience with my body

Feeling so bloody frustrated and annoyed.

Aged 52, 1 year of hellish abdominal pains and bleeding. Diagnosed with an aggressive sarcoma.Hysterectomy, in November, with everything gone. Been off work 3 months to date.

Upon investigation, pleural effusion left lung. Tests reveal secondary BC. Also in abdominal wall.

Currently take targeted therapy drugs daily. Can't find a time of day which doesn't cause bloody nausea or constipation!

Last week, couldn't get breath.. so went to A&E. CT reveals increase in fluid. Now waiting for a call from the nurse, to organise drainage.

I've recovered so well from hysterectomy and this is a major thorn in my side. There's always something!!

Stupid bloody body!

Oh and the fecking menopause is horrific! No hrt allowed.

Gahhhh

That does indeed sound shit. My commiserations to you OP and I hope you get that fluid drained soon, so you can at least breathe Flowers

@cheezncrackers thanks
Turns out that it may be one ( of many!) side effects of the drugs.

Will find out what plan B is tomorrow.
