Hi, I had radical hysterectomy with ovary and lymph node removal back in September - adenocarcinoma stage 1b2. I’m finally on the mend from surgery just a few minor things going on and so thankful that no additional treatment was needed. But my word I’ve hit a brick wall emotionally. I’m absolutely fine until I hear the c word or think about anything to do with what I went through and I’m filling up and crying - I’m not a crier so really struggling with this. I think everything happened so quickly that I haven’t even processed that I’ve been a c patient and feel like I’m looking at my life from the outside. My family and friends have been great but they’re now so positive I’m cured, I feel like I can’t speak to them, we’re close like super close but not emotionally deep. I had my first check up this week and it’s really hit home how I’m struggling. Has anyone else felt like this? Does the fear ever go away or ease?
