I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in match this year just 7 months after having my little girl. I'd had a complicated delivery which lead to further investigations with the outcome something I never expected to hear.
I dont think I have actually dealt with hearing the words you have stage 2 cervical cancer because as soon as I was diagnosed we were suddenly in lockdown due to covid. I have finished my radiotherapy and chemotherapy but found this extremely difficult as I wasnt able to have anyone there supporting me or asking the difficult questions to the consultant thay i was too scared to asked because I'm not sure i wanted to know the answer.
I am 13 days post treatment now and still seem to be struggling with everything. My body is physically exhausted and I'm not sure what to do to stop feeling so tired all the time. I am falling asleep at the strangest of times and places. Please tell me this is normal...
