Is it normal

Hi, I have thought long and hard about posting this, especially when people are still battling this horrid disease.

I feel pathetic but so grateful to be cancer free for just over a year.

I've had a recall last year check but was ok.

I have now been referred to the eye hospital as the optiton (think that's spelt wrong) has found something but doesn't know what it is. You can probably guess what's going through my head.

Does it get easier, everyone thinks yah it's gone, they don't know the struggles, the after effects of treatment, the mental torture of every pain or niggle is it back. I just don't tell anyone, simply because they don't understand.

I'm feeling very low, I'm normally a positive person. Some days I think was it worth it.

Sorry, I really hope this doesn't offend anyone.

This is my safe place, I can let it out.

Sorry for the long rant.

Thank you and stay safe xxx

  • Hi dont worry the forum is a good place to have a rant.a lot of people do the same thing, just think of us as a very big family no secrets all the juicy details welcome.

    Alot of people who have had cancer always worry about next checkups or the least aches and pains,

    in some ways im lucky, my cancer is there all the time just goes up and down now and again so lm not worrying about it coming back.(classed as palative care).

    Remember to keep positive and keep fighting.

    Best wishes for the future, remember your welcome any time.

  • Thank you for replying, I had a shower and cry lol.

    Feeling better. I hope your keeping as well as you can, positive thoughts help, I believe it gave my wee brother 3 yrs, he passed just before my diagnosis, his positivity made me fight. 

    Stay safe, wishing you well again ty
