@LauraFalk11 @ThanksCancer I found out last week I have mets in my spine causing me a lot of pain if I’m stood up/move around but it’s ok if I’m lay down, I don’t know if it’s a fracture or not. They’re looking for a new treatment which I hope will help it

@AsdaServiceTeam I have ordered an online delivery that hasn’t arrived, any ideas?

[Jessica Roberts @JessRobertsBU]

@oliviawedd Did we ever get an answer about this because I’m still wondering!

[Jessica Roberts @JessRobertsBU]

@MetastaticMom Total numbness in my feet and up both legs, I don’t know what it is, they’ve said peripheral neuropathy but I don’t get pain? I just can’t move my legs! Also really bad infections on big toenails 😭

[Jessica Roberts @JessRobertsBU]

@WagstaffBob @MetastaticMom @ThanksCancer Me too :( it spreads up my legs and walking is severely effected

@JimWallis2 @ThanksCancer 🙋🏻‍♀️ it doesn’t matter why it’s there when it appears. I don’t smoke and got lung cancer at 37.

@ThanksCancer @BabblesBB3 We were buying a new house when I got diagnosed, we can’t afford it now and I drive past it every week and feel sad

[Jessica Roberts @JessRobertsBU]

@InspiredMN @fennelltim @ThanksCancer @Disney I disagree! I watched Up with my 4yr old today and it helps to have a reference point that they can “see”

@saraofswords My previously favourite cat has ganged up with the annoying one and now miaows to go out but it’s just so the other can come in when I open the door. Then they tag team harrass me until I feed them. It’s bullying.

Extra good news whilst scoffing cake was that my radiotherapy has shrunk the brain tumours! And my lung tumours are stable with the medication! Woohoo! Still can’t get travel insurance though #goddamnit #nolasvegas
