Not a good day. leukaemia diagnosis.

[biscuitsandbandages]

When I woke up this morning I was a mum of 3 with an 8 week old baby.

Now im a cancer patient on thr coronary care ward.

This cannot be happening to me.

I'm Surrey/SW London and if I can be ANY help at all send me a message.

Wishing you the strength you need to get through this.

Biscuits...am thinking of you darling xxxxx

Aww so sorry, hope you manage some sleep x

Wishing you well - MN is here for you .

Hi, sorry this is all real for you. Didn't really know what to post but didn't want to not say anything. I'm around Worthing if that helps.

Hi, so sorry you're having to go through this. Wish I could offer practical help but am overseas. We have experience of Macmillan and would urge you to get in touch as soon as you can, they can help on many levels. You're in the right place to get the help you need, keep strong and let the Mumsnetters who can do their amazing thing. You'll be in our prayers.x

Are your family helping you?

Can we send you anything?

Let us know where you are so we can be more practical.

I have no pearls of wisdom but I am so sorry . another one here in the south east if you ever feel the need for the kind company of a stranger .

If there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask, am SE London. Chemo can make your mouth dry, pure pineapple juice maybe useful. My friend also found that smelling pure essential lemon oil helped with her nausea (not everyone feels sick though, another friend didn't have the slightest bit of nausea )

Gosh, poor you.

Loads of wise MNers will give good advice. Wishing you strength.

Yes, friend on chemo found ginger was helpful to deal with nausea. The dried crystalised stuff. She also felt really cold too.

You're in the right place, getting the treatment you need. I wish we could parcel up strength and courage to send you!

Would happily send things to a post office or relative/friend if you'd prefer to keep your privacy.

Much Love to you, biscuits.

I'm around the SE - an hour or so from London. If you need anything, I'll help if I can.

Teared up reading this. I'm so, so sorry. I hope tomorrow isn't too bad - we're all rooting for you.

Will be thinking of you tmrw....xx

You are not alone. Thinking of you and sending you so much love and good wishes for the speediest recovery. Big hugs biscuits.

So sorry you need to go through this. I'm in Cambridge and happy to help whatever way I can.

Have you been offered anti-anxiety meds biscuit? Is it worth asking? The speed of the whole thing must add to the fear. Some anti-emetics used during chemo are also anti-axiety drugs, I think, somaybe that's already in the plan.

Disregard, of course, if stupid/unhelpful suggestion.

What can we do to help?

Errands? Deliveries? Distractions?

Thinking of you biscuits. Am in SE London very close to kings and st Thomas's if either of those are relevant. Happy to come and drop mags, toiletries etc. whatever you need. Take care and sending love.

I don't know what to say. How awful

I'm in south east essex if I can be of any help.

What can I do to help, if anything? If you're in Berkshire,Hampshire or Surrey I'm reasonably local and can drop things off. Let me know if there's anything.

Sorry to hear your news Biscuits. I am in the SW and willing to help tomoz

*too

I'm here too, holding hand x

Hi biscuits, so sorry that you are going through this.

My dad was diagnosed with AML a few years ago, so I have some idea of what you and your family are going through. I'm in London, not too far from UCLH (not sure if that's where you are) but if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Much love to you

Am in SE London very close to kings and st Thomas's if either of those are relevant.

Me too. We mean it.
