I feel like a fraud

Back in October 2020 I had a total hysterectomy and discovered that I had cancer in my womb and on my ovaries. As these were removed I am cancer free. The local cancer unit phoned me and said that I did not require chemo or any other treatment as the cancer was not in my blood. Now I have noticed that when people find out that I had cancer they just look at me like I'm lying because I've still got my hair and have not lost weight. My head is totally messed up at the moment I feel that I can not talk to anyone because to look at me you would never say that I had cancer. If it wasn't for the fact that I have to have 3 monthly check ups you would never know.

  • Hello DTE

                 you would never know l had been through bowel cancer with spread to the liver,l look better now than before l had it,But l had a 5 year struggle with a few of those being diabolical,so l am pleased to read you skipped this ordeal.Fraud no, but an inspiration to those that follow that it is not always written in stone that you have to suffer.So stop the introverted thinking and get on with what the rest of us survivors do,enjoy making the most out of every day of our second wind,

                                                                                                                       Enjoy, David
