Negativity

Hello MummaBearb8d2d7 

A cancer diagnosis changes us irrevocably.  And now we have become familiar with the ongoing rollercoaster that follows even after treatment ends the thought always lurks there somewhere - what if it comes back?  And the ongoing scans and follow-ups add to this anxiety.

None of us have a magic wand to banish this.  But what what I can say with certainty is that some of the worries become easier to live with as time passes and the thoughts are less intrusive.  And please don't be afraid to investigate counselling, many of us have benefitted from help in coming to terms with the trauma (and it is trauma) that we have been through.  Maggie's Centres are wonderful, and if there isn't one near you, you could try the Macmillan help-line or your own GP.

I am sorry that you are finding it so tough at the moment.  We will all be thinking of you and hoping that you have the best possible results in January.

Big hug

Hi MummaBearb8d2d7 I'm sorry you feel like this, I echo everything Irene75359 has said.

I think your way of thinking is a little bit of self protection if that makes sense. My staging was exactly the same as yours and I'm coming up 2 years post. Sending hugs. Xx
