Hi,
I was diagnosed with the above in April (stage 2) and have had 9 weekly chemo sessions and have now started the next treatment which is every 3 weeks.
The treatment wiped out my immune system and I ended up in hospital being treated for Sepsis. The initial infection that caused the Sepsis wasn't identified.
Now back home and feeling traumatised, scared to go to work or out anywhere in case I get an infectuon. it's knocked my confidence so much.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi Lisa
Thanks so much for replying and I'm sorry to hear of your experience with Sepsis too
Someone else said something similar, that we can do our best to stay safe but if we're going to catch something, we're going to catch it. I've only been home a few days so still feeling anxious but I guess with time I'll feel a bit more relaxed about it.
That's just how I feel, as though I want to be in a bubble, but like you said that would be miserable and just an existance. I needed to hear that, it's made me think differently now 
WIshing you all the best too and same, here if you want to chat

Hi Chickenoodle,
Aw I'm glad,it's such a hard time mentally with side effects,fear of infection,Chemo ,surgery,genetic testing, and that's without actually waiting for the words we all want to hear No evidence of Disease.We never thoughtght we would find ourselves in this position and therefore could never prepare for how we would feel.We have got this and will get through it

You're right, it's massive, overwhelming and a total shock. the more I talk to people the more I realise there's so much of it and everyone knows someone.
But, we'll get through it and come out the other side 
. Support helps hugely xx
