Always worried

I know what you mean. I have one friend who asks how I am and then stares at me looking to see if something is not right. I just say I’m fine. That’s my stock answer. And they know to let it go.  And if this friend carries on I’ll tell her for the love of God let it go will you. !   I kept what I went through to myself and only a handful of people knew. I withdrew entirely from society for close to 4 months .  

Hi Hazel, I've just read the info on the link and I think doctors & hosptials should give a copy to everyone who has cancer. So much information written in a very accessible manner. So glad I read it and think I will make copies too. cheers x

1. Hi DesR I am very similar to you. Only a handful of people really know what had happened. I stick with that. I would rather feel as normal as possible. I hope you are moving forward now. Take care. Jackie 

Hi Great you found it helped. I gave copies to family members and friends. Dr Harvey was  a clinical physiologist at my cancer centre Leeds and my oncologist gave it to me.
we may look fine but as he says what many of us dont do is give ourselves time to convalescence its an old word but very relevant in our circumstances. 
hugs Hazel 

Hi Jackie . Yes I’m moving forward well. Thank you .  My fitness levels are close to what they were.  Eating is less of a challenge now and I can eat just about everything. 

I went through treatment and afterwards with fflashcards of positive affirmations. When feeling low I read them. Made such a difference. 

Hi DesR! What a good idea using flashcards to keep your positivity up! I am so pleased you are feeling so much better! I am on the road to recovery  so your words give me even more encouragement thathere is still more improvement to come! You have a great day
