I feel very alone, Macmillan's logo only seems to apply for a short time, they were so helpful when I was diagnosed with a reccurence of my cervical cancer, I know & am very grateful that I coped with it quite well with a lot of hard work & a lot of lifestyle changes, also that there are a lot of people that need their help more than I do but I now feel at a loss for anyone to turn to or contact , the oncologists assured me that it will come back no matter what I do, I will continue to try & prove them wrong but do sometimes feel the need for someone to talk to about it, my mother suffered from ovarian cancer with much the same advice but is still keeping going 20 years on which is encouraging. I think mainly down to the mistletoe treatment which I am also on.
Surely there is a need for a second stage of Macmillan or cancer survivers help in some format to help us cope with all the damage we have to live with, a CRUK support nurse advised me that I couldn't possibly be experiencing side effects from chemo - taxol/carboplatin after more than 3 months but I am, I have constant tinitus, lack of energy & several other related problems which the consultant said could possibly last forever.
So where are people in my situation & there must be a lot of us supposed to turn?
