Hi
In December 2018 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and had surgery in Jan 2019 to remove it. Sadly 2 years later it made an appearance in the cervical stump and after many scans I was referred to GSTT in London where I have recently had a TPE.
I am usually fairly strong but this has brought me down. Physically recovery is good. Mentally I feel drained and very emotional.
Has anyone else experienced such strong emotion? How do I move on from this?
