FabSwingers.com forum: Feeling a bit crap

Most who know me understand I’ve had a tough year, in remission from throat cancer.

I have to say I feel crap, I get headaches everyday, I still have a sore throat, but told all is good, I feel 70 yet alone 57.

Eating, phah I can’t eat a curry anymore, I am not allowed to sunbathe, if I get a scratch or an insect bite on my neck I have to get to hospital, massive fear of infection and cellulitis

My lymph glands around my head and neck no longer function..

It’s tough!!

Question I have, is it worth continuing on Fab?

I’m just kidding myself now, meets are few n far between. Life just doesn’t have any sparkle at the moment..

But I’m still here, that’s true enough

I think most of us will understand how you feel and nobody will blame you.

From what I've noticed you have quite a few friends on the forum, contribute daily and are a valued member. Those are pretty good reasons to be here.

Really sorry to hear that

I think it depends on what you get out of fab, there are lots who trawl the forums and rarely/never meet. I've had health problems over the last couple of years that have reduced my activity severely but tbh I'd miss the crap chat and weird threads.

Staying connected/in touch with fellow fabbers could be good even if you aren't meeting?

Do you enjoy chatting to people on here? Quite a few people are only here to chat.

Do you enjoy being on here chatting regardless of the meets ect. If you still get enjoyment from it then stay. People use this for all sorts of things and I've seen a lot not willing to meet but they're on here enjoying life. Do whatever makes you happy.

My dad's in remission from mouth cancer and the same as you. Can't eat a lot of foods he used to love. Was goitered from ear to ear and all his lymfnodes were removed. Nasty but he's alive. Enjoy the little things in life.

Chams or Socials

T is in remission too (as are may other fabbers) for NHL. Meets have taken a back seat over the last 2 years but we still like the social side & forums.

If it were me in your shoes I'd probably stay rather than lose contact with people I know. Also the wrench of not being in contact with other Tv/Ts's would be as bad as purging which I did once and hated myself for it. I guess only you can decide what's right for you but sending a hug x
