Hi, I was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer in April. Had surgery and now planning to go back to work. Not sure who I am now. Anyone else feel like this?
A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat M13 although I'm sorry to hear how you've been feeling since finishing your cancer treatment earlier this year.
I hope it helps to know that not being sure of who you are now is actually quite a common feeling shared by many within the Cancer Chat community, so you are not alone M13, and hopefully some of our members will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.
Finding a 'new normal' and starting this new post-cancer chapter of your life will bring many challenges but I hope this section of our website called life beyond cancer will help you along the way. You can also talk to one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They are very understanding and will do all they can to support you at this time.
In the meantime, our thoughts are with you M13 and we're wishing you all the best with your return to work.
