Hi I'm new to this buy thought id sign up as as.much as I can talk to family and friends they don't always have the same understanding as someone who has been through simular
I was diagnosed with stg 3 cancer back.in August 2020
I've been lucky and been through treatment chemo radiotherapy and brachytherapy too over a space of 8 weeks. Tough going
I'm.now on the recovery phase and again lucky as my 1st scans are positive following treatment
But I am still struggling with side affects and coming to.terms with the likley infertility now. And wonder how others are doing and how you manage?
Also just gone back to.work.after 9.months and although my manager is supportive its the higher management that seem to.be forgetting I've been off and quiet ill for last 9 months
Thanks for listening
