Hi I had net tumours in the small intestines. I had a right hemi colonectomy (sorry about the spelling) to remove them. It feels like it’s taken forever to recover from the surgery and get my energy back. Since Christmas I seem to be struggling with a bit of anxiety and getting worried and stressed about stuff that I wouldn’t before. Just wondered if anyone else had this or if it’s not connected to the operation at all.
Hello Wilde
I am Brian one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and replied to by other members of the Neuroendocrine group.
Anxiety is common amongst people with a cancer diagnosis - I hope you don't mind bur here's a few ideas:
* Do you have a "Maggie's" near you . This is a cancer support charity where you can just drop in and have a brew and chat - link here - Maggie's.
* There's Anxiety UK - They have a support line on 0344 477 5774 and www.anxiety.org.uk.
* There's our Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days) where you can get some great help and support for anxiety.
I do hope the above help and you start to feel better .
Best wishes - Brian.
