  • Hi  

    Welcome to the group although im sorry you have found yourself here. My oncologist told me it would be a good year to get back to normal or possibly a new normal. We all progress at different speeds, I would say 3 months is quite early in your recovery but if you are still in pain you should speak to your doctor and ask for something. Im coming up to 12 months post and it has been as you said 2 steps forward and 1 back on the whole im doing good so yes it does get better but I wouldn't say everything is as it was before. Try to celebrate any wins. Other than the pain ( which is enough) is anything in particular getting to you? . Sending hugs. Xx
