Hi everyone,
My name is Dizzy. Im 61 and Im 2 years since bowel cancer diagnosis. Ive had IV chemo, chemoradiotherapy, more chemo surgery then major life altering surgery after reoccurance 3 months ago from which I'm still healing.
I had a really traumatic 2 week stay in hospital. In the end I begged to be discharged and I think they allowed me home to protect my mental health. The strangest thing when I did get home was being afraid of night time. A feeling that lasted weeks.
Lately Ive been feeling very low, sad, anxious, scared and at times tearful. Things like work and money that wouldnt ordinarily make me stress are really doing so at the moment. Im feeling so anxious about the future. For example how long my husband and i have left to be together, what if something else happens to one of us etc. My head is in a really bad place.
Can anyone relate?
