I had cancer of the vulva and have had vin3 and multiple surgeries over the last 4 years. It’s left me feeling really insecure and I’m struggling to keep a handle on it. I was never overly confident anyway but I was a lot better than I am now. I always try to help everyone else but right now I need to reach out for some advice on how you are all coping with life after? All comments welcome xxx
Hi , first congratulations to getting through your treatment and getting to this point.
But as you can see the post treatment challenges are real and we all deal with them differently. I would always recommend that talking one on one with folks can help a lot.
It would be worth having a look so see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing. I used our local Maggies Centre and found their various courses very beneficial, especially their “where now?” course.
We often post this great paper and folks will actually come back and say that they think that the paper had been written just about them.
The fact you are outing on the Community is a good step in the right direction and please keep posting as we are around to help as best as we can,
You don’t get medals for being the ‘strong’ one but you can find amazing rewards if you make positive choices and looking for someone to talk with, to look them in the eye can be a massive stepping stone in pushing this all in a positive direction.
