Hello ST1,
How you are feeling is perfectly normal. It takes time and everyone is different to how long it takes. There is a really good piece Written by Dr. Peter Harvey entitled “After treatment finishes”. I don’t have the link but if you google it, it should be easy to find. It certainly helped me. You and your body have been through a lot and you need to be easy on yourself. It’s not something you can just put in a box and forget about although over time it doesn’t become your every waking thought. Take care Tracey X
Hi all,
I have just booked on a Living Well well course at the Penny Brohn centre in Bristol, looking forward to learning new perspectives.
I have also found an active closed facebook group for my county. An amazing supportive safe place for learning abiut local groups and businesses offering amazing support to those with this diagnosis. My head definately has some catching up to do.
Best wishes,
