Fears and concerns past treatment when things seem to be getting wotse

Not uncommon to feel low, most of us have been there, it does get better, ask your GP about counselling?

Good luck with results.

Hey - thanka Micky, that’s a good idea/ way forward

Hi Nige. It is so common to feel low for a while after finishing treatment. I went through a stage of it too. I found that talking about how I was feeling really made a difference. You can access counseling through Macmillan. Ring them and make an enquiry. Things definitely improve but you have to give it time.

Macmillan have stopped this service

Hi Nigel it's perfectly normal to have these fears, after what we have been through. I did worry a lot about it at first, however the fear does go with time. Worries do crop up from to time, but I have got to know what the new normal is, I'm sure you will too.

As others have said it is not uncommon.  It is probably heightened by being in the period between having the PET and getting the results.  It is a very difficult time and our minds work though all the scenarios almost all of which, aside from a clear PET, are unlikely.

It’s a struggle to find any kind of ‘new normal’ with such changes that are in a state of flux - the lumps, bumps, having to retake morphine after the pain levels have started to increase over the last two weeks since having a physical examination.

I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, but which bugger turned it off ?!

Hi Dani. That is a shame that Macmillan has stopped the counseling service. That leaves rather a hole for people who are needing this service. What are the options now to get counseling that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Hello Lyn - can I ask what hospital you are with ?

I’m at the Brighton hospital and there is a macmillon horizon centre - here there is the availability of counselling.

others may do the same.
