Rough. Can't find any jobs in my town besides factories and trucking, so I guess I'm probably gonna go work in a factory.
Lymph nodes been swollen for three days and I can't get to a doctor for nine more days, so that's frustrating.
I feel lonely and detached all the time. I miss when my friends and I were close. I've tried meeting new people but it's not the same.
If I'm not too tired after work tomorrow I'm planning a solo trip, just for the evening. There's a park an hour away where I've heard you can see the stars, so maybe I'll hit the local shops and grab an ice cream or something and wait til sundown. Maybe that'll cheer me up.
How’s the lymph-node feel? Sore, or no pain? I had lymphoma back in 2020, my lymph-nodes at the time weren’t sore (didn’t hurt at all, even when touching them) and were hard as rock due to the tumors. If yours are sore and not rock hard that may actually not be the worst thing, but you most definitely need to see that doctor in 9 days!
Oh shit, I hope you're doing okay these days!
Mine are occasionally sore, but most of the time they're just tender to the touch. They are pretty hard, too 😬
Thanks ☺️ I got “lucky” getting lymphoma lol it’s aggressive but thankfully effectively treatable! We caught it when it was stage 3 progressing to stage 4, and after 6 “memorable” rounds of chemo I’m 5 years out and tentatively in the clear! Helps I got it when was 27, so I was a bit more durable lmao
Tenderness ain’t a bad thing at all! Hopefully put your mind at ease a little while you wait for your appt lol
