I am 2 years post treatment for stage 3 cervical cancer (radiotherapy chemotherapy and brachytherapy.) I am reality struggling as a 39 year old plunged into menopause, people around me just think I'm cured now and thats it but mentally i am struggling a lot, i don't recognise myself anymore & i feel like I'm grieving my old-self. I can’t be the only one to feel like this? At least during treatment i was told what I needed to do where I needed to be but now i just feel completely lost, anxious & sad not to mention completely traumatised.
Im looking for support groups to speak to people who have been through the same, there are none so I have joined this forum x
Hi Mimmi and a very warm welcome to the community.
Let me start by saying you are absolutely not the only one feeling like this, but I hope that we can help support you, particularly in the Cervical cancer group, which I see you’ve joined.
I’d love to see you post in there-we have a great group of helpful and supportive ladies who will be able to identify with how you’re feeling. I am the community champ for this group, and have been through this cancer twice with multiple treatments and surgeries, so I completely get where you're coming from and how you’re feeling.
Let’s have a chat in the cervical group, and I can connect you with others who have been through this-I find it really helpful personally to talk with others who really understand, and I hope you can benefit from this too. We all try to help each other.
Hope to see you there soon!
Sarah xx
