in Everyday life
it was bad enough having suffered a major stroke, which a career was lost, I spent years in a wheelchair, I now have severe spinal stenosis which is now cutting off the feeling in my legs,
I also have COPD, and this cold virus going around I just caught it, then at the insult to injury I have been suffering pain and soreness in my mouth for months, after seeking advice I have been diagnosed, with cancer, shore its the pits. now I am wondering at the age of 63, is it all worth, 
I live on morphine for the pain, all i want to do is curl up and just go to sleep. I cannot see any purpose in having cancer treatment, They have said that having  an operation is out  of the question, i have no one to vent my feelings so  i  have put it on here sorry if i have made  you folks feel miserable

    Morning @Boychris,

    I just wanted to offer my sympathies for all that you've been through, it sounds like things are really tough for you at the moment and there's no shame at all in venting your feelings- you're always welcome on the community!

    I also wondered whether you might like to chat with @Jopeco, who is new to the community and has just recently discussed their experiences with pain!
