โI'm only a few months into this, but here's what I've learned so far. The paperwork can wait an hour. The fear doesn't go away, but it gets quieter if you let people help. Write things down, even if it's just a sentence. And find one small thing that makes you smile, like a game of cards or a bird at the feeder. It won't fix anything, but it makes the day easier to carry.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. For me it was bucket list or not. I laugh properly again.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it is easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I am writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. My nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number. Go slowly.โ
โHello from the other side of it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was palliative care team at home. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Keep going, even slowly.โ
