Morning,
I dont know if this is the right place to ask or even if I should be asking! But here goes
I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in November 2024 after a heavy bleed, after some investigation it was decided that I'd have a radical hysterectomy which was done in jan 2025, iv since had the all clear and feel like iv coped with all the upheaval brilliantly, got through xmas not knowing what was gonna happen, never missed work (except planned time off after op), had to change jobs (after 14 years), ran a house with a teenage son in it, planned a wedding and went on our 1st family holiday....fast forward to just over a year after diagnosis and im having horrible nightmares waking up in a sweat thinking im bleeding again, having nightmares that I didn't get the all clear and iv dreamed it all. Is this normal? Should I be doing something i feel like i should be thankful (which i am) and just forget it ever happened
Hi Kaz87
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I'm sorry to read about the nightmares you're having.
As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so you might also want to post this in the cervical cancer group, where I can see you're posted before, as you'll then connect directly with others who have had the same type of cancer as you.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi Alex26 and a very warm welcome to the online community.
To find the group that you want to join look through this list of cancer types and/or this list of cancer experiences. When you've found the right group for you, click on join and you can then start a post.
I hope this helps but if you need any further information just let me know.
