Both my parents are still alive and I don’t want to die before them.

My only support I get is from Macmillan Cancer Care, they have been very helpful.

As already mentioned, since I stopped taking it my mind is in a better place, my cancer is under control and I’m going to the gym and losing weight and getting fit again. This medication has had a lot of negative effect on my overall health and well-being .
