Hey ladies. Its been a while since ive posted on here. Im now nearly 3 months post treament and should have a scan end of this month or next to see how ive responded. Im scared for that. But also nothing prepared me for the ups and downs id face even after cancer treatment both physically and mentally. Im kicking myself right now because i also stopped smoking when finding out all through treatment till a couple of weeks where i had a few slips ups of smoking when ive been stressed and feeling alone. Now im scared ive messed everything up.

Hi Kimberley

I finished treatment end of March . I had a scan end of June and I was terrified and also it took a long time to get results because of a backlog but was all good thank goodness . I’ve an app in dec to see oncologist so that’s the next bit . When I finished treatment I felt a bit lost to be honest ! After weeks and weeks of going to hospital for treatment and seeing nurses and docs etc I just felt a bit lost and on my own etc ( I guess it’s having the fact that someone always about ) . I spoke to my cancer nurse a couple of times because of a few side effects and they were helpful . You can always speak to them even if it’s to reassure you . Also there is a lot of very good advise and people on here to help . It’s only natural to be scared when tests etc coming up . Congratulations on trying to give up smoking . I hope this helps that it is natural to feel scared and concerned . I know it’s seems the loneliest thing sometimes but please come on here or even phone the macmilliannurses they are amazing and are there to help through this bit .
best wishes val
