Hi every one any help and advise please, I have just come out of a year of hell christmas 2012 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, so I had chemo, surgery, and radiotherapy I have also had to have a year of herseptin which I am now @ 14 out of 17, so only 3 to go, I had a letter from my consultant regarding all the ms symptoms to have been feeling, yet he is now saying that it’s all down to the chemo, I did have a ct scan on my brain and he says there is no new sign of activity going on in my brain, I have had a spinal MRI scan done two weeks ago, but am still waiting on the results of this. But at the moment I just feel so tired at the moment and am so stress I was made redundant just before christmas this was after been of work for ten months, and I was on a fazed return to work, I really don’t know now what to do I just feel so tired and low Any help please
Its no wonder you feel so drained,you have been through so much this last year, and it would take it out of a person without MS,are you on an anti depressent,if not, maybe its a good idea to ask your dr,also coming on here to let it all out,may help,and so would someone you could talk to,also be kind to yourself, do things you enjoy,not what you feel you have to do,watch films you enjoy,eat chocolate,find out what relaxes,and do it.
(((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) hope 2014 is much kinder to you.

Oh luv, you have had it rough indeed.
MS, breast cancer, redundancy…that lot would faze the strongest of us!
Sorry but I am a bit confused when you say your consultant wrote to you. Do you mean your oncologist or your neurologist? I think you mean your neuro, yeh?
I think you need more time to recover yourself, before you think about trying to find another job.
I am struggling to find any useful advice for you, except to offer my best wishes and warm hugs.

Oh honey, that is an awful year for you. It’s so unfair when you have two serious conditions to deal with.
I’m sure the stress of this year hasn’t done your MS any good and I do hope that this year everything settles down for you. I know it’s easier said than done, but try to concentrate on enjoying the simple things in life for a while. I hope the redundancy package means you don’t have to worry about money for a few months so you can put your feet up and build up your strength again. There must be a strong person in there to have got this far already …
