Had surgery in march and decided not to have any further treatment but, that does not stop me feeling alone and scary for the future

Do you feel you are able to go into your history(op, chemo etc) a bit more.might help people with a similar history to come along and join in.

Meanwhile all the best.

Others have found this a helpful read . Others have reported finding the period after treatment quite hard to adjust to .

Take care ,

I wanted to say hello Elsie 

Im sorry you’re feeling alone. Like court  mentioned MacMillan are really helpful and will put you in touch with a therapist which is six weeks CBT or a longer individual program. There’s a waiting list but they stay in touch and get you help as soon as they can. There’s no charge. 
I also phoned my GP who prescribed me some happy pills.
It may help you. Talking here I found so much support so that’s an option so that you don’t feel alone 

If you click on peoples names you can read their bio. I had a LAR and as you can tell by my avatar I have a stoma.
