About Karen368

Hi I was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer 6 months ago and had surgery to remove my oesophagus and upper stomach. I'm doing well physically, making a good recovery but no one told me about the mental struggles I could have. Well they've hit now and am finding some days are difficult to get through and then other days I'm fine. Just hoping I can get through this part of the cancer journey as quickly as possible! I'm sure it happens to many people. It's such a life changer. Karen xx
