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?

Others have found this a helpful read ! You also might want to phone our helpline staff 0808 808 0000 I think they can put you in touch with local resources or refer you for some counselling if that’s of interest !

Thank you so much for providing this link. I'm finding it most helpful.
I have contacted the helpline and was given a few places to try and get some help. I'm still waiting on replies.
