Since diagnosed with cancer (two separate cancers) I appear to have gone into overdrive, I am writing and doing artwork at a collosal rate, it's what I do, but never with such accuracy and such direction...I have ideas flowing through my mind, I have done things I have found difficult but now have amazingly perfected without even trying. I seem to be living with an urgency to get things done. Anyone else have this.?

When did you get your diagnose? When did this overdrive start?
I was the opposite in the beginning. Was diagnosed in October 2025 with my third cancer (same one but metastatic now).

Now in February I have finally started to do more creative things again. I am retired so I use to write a lot, poem and short stories. I do craft, knitting, cooking complicated dishes and do some baking. But my energy level is very low. I get fatigue, sleep badly and have pain.

I was diagnosed with womb cancer in January, had a radical hysterectomy and discharged February. It started then, I have sketched, written and decorated my room with what my brother calls my hippy nick nacks, wood painting, artwork, light catchers...it has been non stop from February 3rd. I was found to have bladder cancer while they were doing MRI scan for my womb cancer.
