Bowel and lung cancer

Hi Sylvann 

Welcome to the forum and well done on doing so well for so long . That’s a win for sure .

One of my mum’s surgeons said even those with the best of defences hit a wall and become a bit depleted at times . But it is something with the right support that my mum got over . Macmillan offers six sessions of free counselling with Bupa , our helpline has the details if that appeals to you .

My mum let time heal her . I would notice just before another procedure she would take her time to find her focus . Allow space to address her thoughts about going through another  surgery then one day she would announce she had found her focus and it was full steam ahead .

Macmillan helpline staff are also there to chat too if you need someone to speak about it with .

We are here on the forum to get you through .

My mum had a wedge resection through vats on her lung . They made a small two inch incision under her armpit between two ribs . She was home two days later . I was dreading her going through it but because she was able to have a keyhole procedure recovery was great .

Take care ,

Court
