Hi,
Feeling very lost and alone and struggling with my recent diagnosis.
Feel like I shouldn’t be feeling this way, as I had my appendix removed when I was rushed into hospital and at the moment as far as the drs have said, I have no more tumours anywhere else either. so I should be happy? Right? That’s what I keep thinking too. But I am not. My mental and emotional health has severely plummeted and I’m not sure currently if I’ll ever properly recover from this.
I have an appointment in a couple of days to discuss my condition and this is all I’ve been told so far.
Guess I’m just looking for some support to help me through this. Feel so strange at the moment, I literally don’t feel like myself anymore in many ways.
Hoping someone can help.
thank you for reading x
Hi and welcome to the Online Community. Sometimes being told we're clear from cancer, especially when we didn't know we had it in the first place, leaves us in a state of total limbo, disbelief and stressed beyond belief.
None of us here on these forums are medically trained, I myself have womb cancer, but we've a huge wealth of knowledge between us and can offer a lot of support. Until you see your consultant and are able to tell us why your appendix was removed it's difficult to signpost you to the right group to gain the relevant support.
Once you've had your consultation, come back and tell us what happened and if you're having any further treatment, we can put you in touch with others making the same journey.
Sending hugs, B xx

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it 
I had my appendix removed several weeks back now when I was rushed into hospital and following that had an emergency operation to remove them think they thought I had appendicitis. Later in the lab it was discovered I had a small tumour in my appendix. But since being told I had cancer then I am cancer free… I have been suffering with my mental health in ways I feel sometimes it’s impossible to explain. I feel very unlike myself indeed. And it has got worse. Thought best to reach out now before I’m impossible to help.
Thank you so much for understanding and replying means so much.
