I had breast cancer in 2013 and by 2018 it had metastasised (not sure that's the right word) and spread to my bones. I have been told there is no cure and the prognosis was 3-4years. As my cancer feeds on oestrogen I had an operation to remove my ovaries and Fallopian tubes, I had barely recovered when I had to go in for an operation to put a metal rod to support my femur and then a few weeks later the other leg was done. Whilst going through all this I had been suffering with ulcerative colitis, my relapse had been going on for over a year. With constant pain and accidents I decided the best bet was to have an ileostomy. My operation was 29th January this year, due to complications I was kept in for three weeks and the morning after I got home I had to go back in for a week. Since then l had been advised by Matt Hancock to strictly shield myself. Therefore it has been just me and my husband in the house since February. Shielding has been slightly relaxed so that from 1st August I can walk to a shop or a place of worship or meet six people outside. I have been going stir crazy just needing a friend to talk to, cup of tea and slice of cake...I just feel so lonely at the moment.....
sorry for the long post
