Hello
So sorry to hear all of this - it sounds absolutely an awful time that you have been through!
It sounds as if you need some counselling to cope with everything that you have endured. Your doctor should have recommended you some? You can call the helpline to chat to one of the staff with Macmillan to get more advice too. (the number is below).
Also, you may want to see if there is a Maggies Centre near you (click the green link) as they are a face to face organisation specifically for anyone affected by cancer.
I'm obviously not saying that this will 'solve' anything, but may just help a little.
Kindest wishes,
