Hi
ive just joined and I am wondering if anyone feels like I do.
I had a total hysterectomy five weeks ago after being diagnosed with stage 1B endometrial cancer. It didn’t come as a shock, because of my symptoms and a biopsy we were already quite sure that’s what I had.
This is my second encounter with cancer so I understood the processes etc, this time round I remained calm and very positive and as always had the wonderful support of my family, however after going through the operation and with some precautionary radiotherapy starting shortly I feel completely devoid of any emotions (I am normally an emotional person), I feel emotionally numb.
Does anyone else feel like this? If so will my feelings & emotions come back
