Since I've been in remission all my family think I'm back to normal and leave me to it. Has anyone else been in this situation?

I am in remission have been so since October, I had APR surgery due to bowel cancer, I have diabetes and osteoarthritis so mobility not great, since I’ve been in remission it seems like all my family think I’m back to normal and leave me to it, I’m 64 with no friends in the area, I’m my fathers carer he is 100 and seems to be getting quite a handful, I feel tired all the time and feel so along, has anybody else in the same situation as me!
