I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in November 2022, I had surgery in jan 2023 for it. In the feb, on the day I hoped I would find out I was in remission I got told I had 3 leisions on my liver, luckily they were something benign and needed no treatment, a week later I found out i was in remission.
I know this sounds so stupid, but when I was diagnosed, I had so much support, my boyfriend and my family all gathered around, I felt so supported and looked after. As soon as I told them I was in remission, they were all so happy, but I feel like my mental journey has just began. Cancer was survival, I did what I needed to, it all happened so quickly, now I have so much time to think. So much time sat around. I have scanxiety. I feel very mortal, like I could be gone at any point. I'm more scared of everything. But now no one seems to care. I'm better now, I should be happy. I'm not saying I want cancer back to get attention. I just feel very alone and unsupported at the moment. Just wondering if anyone has felt this way?
