  • Hi Poppy, I was diagnosed in February with bilateral breast cancers and, despite having had all the relevant treatments, I also feel the same way. Family and friends are convinced all is now well and we should be getting on with life again but this worry is a natural and inevitable part of the process and doesn't make it any easier does it? For some reason I am unable to open the link lovely Max sent to you but I happened to speak to my breast care nurse yesterday and she and a colleague are setting up small, local groups in my area for women, titled Life after Treatment, as they have recognised the need to offer support once all the physical stuff has been completed. This is not something I ever thought I would need or want but I have now finally realised that a helping hand from professionals and chatting to others who have been through the process may be the way to go. I have taken great comfort from the folk on here and these meetings would be an added bonus. I wonder if you have similar groups in your area. I know Macmillan do this kind of thing too so perhaps it would be worth looking into? Take care and do let us know how you get on.  Sue xx
