Hi everyone.
last week I had a bowel resection for sigmoid cancer, which went well, and I got home from hospital yesterday afternoon. We are now waiting for the lab results to come back on the tumour and lymph nodes to see if I need chemo.
I have all kinds of weird identity feelings about this. I’d just about got used to being ‘I’ve got cancer’ and ‘I’m a cancer patient’ . But who am i now?
Do I still ‘have cancer’ now that it has hopefully been removed? Am I a ‘cancer survivor’ if I don’t need chemo, or do I still ‘have cancer’ until I’ve been clear for five years?
Does any of this over thinking ring any bells with anyone else at all
