Family turmoil

Hey! So I got diagnosed 6 months ago, lots have happened, but in the trauma of this, a few of relationships have gone sour.. family has been complex prior to the diagnosis and is now worse..

i think there is something to be said about these situations showing you who your true networks are.

Very ill recently and struggling with motivation [discussion]

I had a crappy diagnosis, and getting treatment it doesn’t get me to the gym. I find when I’m in a routine of walking I’m okay but my health will take a slide and I’m off track with food and movement. I’ll gain weight quickly due to less movement and possibly trauma eating - need some support and experiences to get back into movement in a kind non punishing way

We're looking for a furnished, 2+ bedroom property, ideally around $600 per week, approx. 25-30mins drive into Cairns CBD.

My life will never be the same …

Hi Everyone, I have got news that changed my life overnight. The reoccurring skin rash which I’ve had for the past 3 years, that no health professional GP, Dermatologist, Naturopath, Kinesiologist could give a correct prognosis for was a symptom of Cholangiocarcinoma, now a Stage 4 terminal Cancer. Please trust your bodies and go get checked.

Edit: all the professionals told me I had histamine intolerance, none even considered cancer. which is heart breaking because I wasted time trying to treat histamine intolerance issues. I’m still so young in my early 40s was fit healthy got barely other symptoms except fatigue was told time and time again you in your 40s it’s your hormones etc and so I pushed on. hoping someone will read this and get checked

Edit: couldn’t tell it was cancer until I was suddenly in the emergency room with numerous symptoms, I had to push for more tests! the only ongoing frequent symptom was the skin rash for years, (on face, neck, back and stomach mainly) which I was trying to workout. If you are concerned, speak to your health professional about how to get tested for cancers, with bloods, scans etc 🙏🏻

Edit: thank you for all your kind messages. I’m not looking for advice about how to cure cancer as it’s no cure prognosis.

edit: for testing the only ways it showed up was when they did bloods: tumour markers. Scans CT scans, PET scans, Ultrasound on abdomen (for this type of cancer)
