Hi

I was just wondering if anyone felt the same. I had my surgeries ten months ago to remove my thyroid due to Papillary Cancer, I am finding that people try to understand when I have a down day but struggle as they expect me to be absolutely fine and back to my normal self.

  • Hello Mary ( 

    I understand just where you are at with this - the problem is only people with a cancer diagnosis can truly understand. It's almost like a bond we have as you have "been there - done that.

    I am still being treated for cancer, and my treatment will be lifelong, but I can imagine that one you have reached the end of treatment and you are on a "curative pathway" there's always the worry that it may come back.
