Hi I havent posted in a while. I had a full nephrectomy in August and found out after that it was Chromophobe cancer. I thought I was doing ok with recovery and coming to terms with it but this last week I have been hit with a really low feeling, I am over emotional and wanting to cry all the time. I am on a waiting list for counselling but that could be another 3 months! I feel ao frustrated because the cancer is gone and I should be enjoying life but I feel too sad to. I have been suffering with anxiety as well, the doctor hasnt been particularly helpful and I'm desperately trying to hold it together for my 8 and 5 year old. I know I'm in a negative circle of thoughts but I just need to hear that it will get better.
