Hi all. New here. I’ve had chemo, single mst. And just ended a 6 month chemo tablet course, which was hard. Struggling now with not thinking the worst and thinking everything is a return.
i feel mentally wiped. Lack of motivation and energy, and can I sleep! Once I manage to fall asleep I can sleep for 10 hours easily, and when I wake it’s so warm and safe, I lie there. Scrolling or reading. Is this ok? I also find it an effort to do things, eg my husband says we need to fill in insurance forms, or I have a task to do. You’d think I’d been asked to organise a NATO conference.
is this me now?
Hi PollyS and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community.
Navigating the post tteatment journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot. (I have a completely different cancer).
This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms)……… but I do see that you have joined our dedicated Breast Cancer support group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support. To connect in with the group please click on the link below…….
……. and once the group page opens you can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
