I know I have got on my mind will I even get over that I had cancer?

Hi Doreen

It does all happen quickly and it can feel very overwhelming. 

I had my surgery 4 weeks after my first symptom and then had chemo and then radiotherapy. I didn't feel like I even had time to think until it was all done. 

I am 2 years post treatment and am doing ok. it takes time to process everything and something as big as cancer does naturally affect you but life is still good.

yeah true my was last year but it s gone and people think I should celebrate but to be told I that i was in diule 

I think sometimes people mean well but they don't always understand. We all deal with things in our own way. I think for many people it doesn't end when treatment has finished. I finished 2 years of check ups every 12 weeks at the end of last year. It can feel hard to celebrate and move on when you are still going to the hospital every 3 months. 

I did the Hope course recently- all online and it did help.

yeah I Kown that feeling iv got anppmt this month i had going to the hospital i never should be be like that 

I used to get really anxious before my check ups but it was reassuring to be seen. My CNS was really good as well which helped.

yeah i have one ever time i see the doctor at the hospital i been getting a friend to come with me 

My saga started nearly a year ago and I'm just starting to get my head round it. When there's so much happening I felt I was just trying to keep my head above water, it's only now things have calmed down I can process. A lot of hospitals have a cancer wellbeing person who can talk with patients at any stage. Mine helped. 

ok that's good 

My surgery will be year in 24 May 2025 I was only early stage cancer but I had issues for a year before the operation heavy bleeding, period like cramps but I was too heavy so I had to loose weight which I did within the year I lost nearly three stone as I wanted Cancer Buddy out, unfortunately thing haven't gone smoothly not that I needed radiotherapy or chemotherapy but I had lost a lot of blood during surgery due to very large fibroids so after surgery I felt ok for a month or so but started to feel really tired and my hair started to fall out apparently I filoe Anemic, so put on the meds needed started to feel really good for just over a month then started to feel really dizzy light headed and very tired again now I have low blood pressure mostly sighting at 111/48 or 50 reduced my blood pressure tabs from 20mh to 10mh and now  2.5mg but nothing has changed. So although I wanted Cancer Buddy out the wee bugger has never left my thoughts to be honest although I have been given the all clear after a Pap test ?  I keep thinking what if it comes back after five years what if is a bad thought to be honest but I completely understand how you feel.

hello irs doreen w iv been struggling all day
