Hi everyone. Im a 45 year old single mum. Im currently on a double 2WW one for Bowel and one for Breast. My Breast appointment is on Monday and I have been coping by keeping busy with family ect. Then on Friday My doctor rang to say my FIT test was very high and she needed to put me on the bowel 2ww.
Since finding out I needed the bowel one too My mind is just on overdrive and im struggling to keep focused. I would really like to chat to people who understand how im feeling and to give me some positive coping strategies.
My daughter caught me upset today and I feel so guilty as a mum burdening her with my worries.
