Let me be scared

So pleased that your recovery has gone so well so far - hope the next stage goes just as well.

Your feeling of detachment and the need to stay strong for everyone else - think we can all relate to that. - we go through this stage to some extent.

We can also relate to the feeling of isolation and fear.

Only point I can disagree with is the feeling you are alone - there is no need to be !! there are so many on here who are or have been in your position and know exactly how you feel - please  do not keep you worries, fears and felling to yourself - we are here to chat to, ask questions of or just have a good old rant when thisngs get too much - but we will listen and we do understand !

take care and please tell us HOW ARE YOU !!

Hi Cathie....many of us are either feeling the way you are right now or have a some point during their illness and treatment, it can be so hard to deal with at times and we do tend to try and protect others around us. You may feel alone love but I promise you that you are not, we support eachother through good and bad times, just put your feeling down on here, there is always some one that can relate to what or how you are feeling. Just remember also that you are not made of stone and you some times need to cry, scream, shout 'No I am not alright' it is ok to do that. Take care and keep in touch, we can sort this out together....love Carol x

John and Carol are right in what they say. We help each other.

I find that now I am well and it is over that my loved ones behave as if it never happened. BUT it did happen1 year ago on sunday to be exact.

For me it isn't over I still suffer the after affects of chemo and sleepless nights.

The only people that do fully understand is everyone in macland.

Take Care and it is nice to meet you. Julie x

Hi Cathie, like the others have said, we can all relate to how you are feeling.

I know that I felt really guilty having cancer and putting my family through all the worry and so, had to be strong and show the world that I was fine and not to worry about me, but inside I was crumbling!

This is a great place to offload to others who understand exactly where you are coming from. We are here when you cannot talk to family or friends who are too close and you don't want to upset them.

I hope you find the support you need and wish you all the very best in your fight against this dreadful disease.

Best wishes, Christine xx
