I dare say I'm one of thousands of us who are so very anxious about the next steps on the treatment journey we find ourselves on.
I have been diagnosed with rectal cancer on New Years Eve 2019 and after a massive amount of hospital appointments and brutal consultant meetings I'm just emotionally knackered and just scared and anxious for the future.
chemoradiation starts on 18th Feb for five and a half weeks, then a break before surgery , a permanent stoma and clean up chemo for six months.
Ok about the radio/chemo pre surgery but cannot get the surgery out my head and the quality of life/pain and recovery!
again, I know I'm not the only sufferer of this but I need to know there is a life after this and it's not as scary in my head as I think it is!!!
help!
Dave
