I've been told it has gone

The last 9 months have been a whirlwind, treated for stage 4 through chemo and a full hysterectomy. Two weeks ago I received the good news that it has all gone and I've agreed to a daily maintenance tablet to try and prevent recurrence. I now find myself in a state of limbo with mixed feelings about how to reintegrate myself, I'm a bit apprehensive about social invitations and feel as if I've lost some of my confidence. Anyone else feel like this? How are you dealing with it?. Thanks for reading. 

  • So pleased to hear your excellent news it gives so much hope for all of us. I'm lucky that I have never stopped socialising even to the point that I'm planning my next social week away in May. I have my surgery next Tuesday. Your a strong woman you have beaten this socialising is nothing compared to what you have beaten. Enjoy your freedom. 

  • Thank you. Staying positive has been a huge help with it all but my confidence has taken a dent. One thing I would pass on is absolutely follow the post surgery advice and 'do nothing' initially. I followed the advice to the letter (with the support of husband and friends) and I recovered quickly and well. It's very easy to try and do things, but we heal from the inside out and our bodies need that time to start the healing process. Good luck with your surgery. 

  • Thanks for the tip as I live alone I've already put in place a cleaner, dog walker also family and friends doing what they can. Enjoy life to the full.
