hi all I am new to the group, I was diagnosed last June with a 30cm tumour in my ovary and attached to my bowel. I had my surgery in July which took 10.5 hours and I had a 95% risk of dying in the surgery! I survived and I am here which I am forever grateful to my amazing surgeon and my MacMillan nurse that was with me through out everything.
its only now that the realisation of how ill I was and how close to death I was, that it’s sinking in and only because my surgeon this week asked me how am I feeling about everything that 9 months later and reading all my letters that I broke down with him and all my fears and worries just exploded out.
just struggling to find a way to deal with my emotions.
how do you cope? Has anyone else gone through similar experiences?
