Yes, let's hope that you've got a whole decade's worth of illness and worry packed into one grim year which is now, thankfully, over and done with.
All the best - Julie.

What a year indeed, tag49. Your positive mental attitude (is that a well known phrase or saying or have I just made it up?) is an inspiration to us all.
Have you tried peppermint oil capsules for the IBS? Hope the next year is a better one, Sella.

tag............... What a year but what a fantastic attitude you have and as lisianthus says, what an inspiration to us all. Hope they sort it all out for you and you get the right medication to ease all the discomfort.
As chilla says.................... there are people who would have crumbled under it all.
Your problems and how you deal with them put me to shame with my puny little ones. Keep up the excellent work and hope life starts to treat you better.
Take care......................... thimblex

Hi Im a new member here but saw your post and how much you had been through - you are a survivor to have faced all this.
I imagine that having a hysterectomy was a trauma enough though then you had to cope with the cancer diagnosis and problems since. I am sorry the radiotherapy has caused IBS. My mum had a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and thinks the radiotherapy caused her to have ongoing twinges, a pulling sensation and discomfort so she cant stand for long. I think she finds it diffcult that doctors cannot explain what it is though she has asked in the past.
I experience IBS (for me more about stress and food issues). It can be a difficult condition to live with and is a private matter to deal with despite the distress. I hope you find ways to manage it as far as you can do.
I hope that there are no more things to bring you down - you have had more than your fair share.
I hope that your health improves and that your family appreciate what a star you are, they have good company in you.

Hi tag
You have had a rubbish time, haven't you - but you sound so positive. It's quite inspiring.
I do hope that that your troubles are all behind you now, and that you can look forward to a much brighter 2010.
Take care of yourself.

Hi Tag
I can really sympathise. The last 4 yrs have been a huge rollercoaster due mainly to my now 26 year old son diagnosed with psychosis and living back home with us. Adult mental health was a complete unknown to us... We've had to face mumerous crises that have kept our stress levels ultra high - still I don't have a weight problem!!
Meanwhile, married daughter has gone through repossession & bankruptcy this year, followed by younger granddaughter Taylor (2 and a half) becoming very seriously ill in June, diagnosed with an extremely rare condition which could leave her with long term problems of all sorts as her immune system started attacking her brain - 'Dancing Eyes Syndrome'. I managed to keep going to work (full time) until Feb, then was off for 4 weeks, with illness & stress. But I managed to keep going through the summer when Taylor was really ill. She's improving now on long term steroids. So, I think of myself as a 'wobbly weeble' (toy) and have to keep wobbling back up every time I'm knocked down.... Maybe I'm stronger than I thought? Keep it going Tag, you're clearly a strong woman. I'm sending you a hug...
