  • I’m not sure just cancer has changed me as a person Covid and Cancer has changed my life style completely. It’s an interesting thought. I am trying to concentrate on the people that cared about my diagnosis and were there for me when I needed. Are we a product of our experiences? Interesting

  • Hi Shelly , yes it’s changed me a lot . I no longer trust my body . Also I’m still struggling with a few bowel issues . It’s hard getting used to my new normal but a year on I’m slowly getting there . I guess it takes time XX

  • Yes NellyB 

    Physically I have changed completely I no longer have the tumour in my rectum and the pressure it caused. So that’s an improvement but I have an Ileostomy.

  • Totally empathize Artsie . My friends and family think because the cancer has gone I’m back to normal but I Struggle mentally a lot . I’ve decided to go at my own pace and if people don’t understand that’s out of my control . We’ve been through a lot and we need time to heal at our own pace . 
    take care , Nelly X

  • This space has helped me as I can talk to people that get it. Also I am sparing my family and friends. I don’t want to burden them with my thoughts. They have their own worries and I’m the first with a bag. I get the sympathetic looks from the wider family that really wind me up. I’m still here and intend enjoying my life even with Covid isolating us !
