BUMP, Excellent Idea x
Yes it would be great I’m awake most nights and thing seem worse at nights come on bcc pls help
I felt this need to early on after my treatment finished. I am 3 years after dx and treatment and only recently have i slept properly and felt less of a need to speak to people in the night. It does sometimes still happens but i feel more the need to help others as i remember so well how worried, anxious and having that ‘black hole’ feeling at 2 in the morning.
Take care

I had my last of 6 FECs 6 weeks ago following a mastectomy and I just feel kind of numb mentally.
I hate the long puckered scar and I hate my sprouting hair.
I was supposed to see the onc again in early June but was told by the receptionist that as the onc was on holiday in June the earliest date I could be seen is 23rd July so I feel a bit abandoned!
I think that I should be happy now that the treatment is over but I just feel nothing.
Hi
Just wanted to let you know that we’ve seen this post and will consider it. We have been planning some changes to the live chat service, experimenting with different ways to use it. These changes have been a bit delayed by various things but it’s still on our mind, so it’s extremely useful to hear from you about what you think would be useful.
Best wishes and take care
Leah
Hi Mouseybrown, I can sympathise with how you are feeling. When my treatment ended last September I thought I should be exstatic! The reality was quite the opposite. Everyone was telling me now it was over and I should get on with my life-this included my breast care nurse!! The problem is for months cancer had been my life and it would never be the same again. Days were filled with treatments, hospital apps and days went by feeling lousy. Then whoops its all over, no wonder we get upset and feel low we’ve just survived hell. So give yourself the credit you deserve and try to be kind to yourself. Speak to your Gp if it doesnt get better. From my gp I got a 15 week referral to a local health club, which means you get a much reduced rate and you dont need to join. I’m not really a gym type - my body would like me to be!! But I go swimming, aquafit, and dance. These are all geared to people who have or are having health problems, no lycra in sight!! Also tell your friends how you are feeling or come on here, we will always support you. Take it easy, and stay well. Ellie
Thanks Leah.
With the current chatroom being only once a week and having difficulty remembering my name let alone what day it is, I’ve only managed to catch it once!
For those with post-treatment numbness, google +“Peter harvey” +counselling +cancer and you’ll find a great article about dealing with why you don’t feel brilliant after active treatment. Sorry I don’t have the link, just had FEC3 so head not working (which is also why I missed the chatroom again today.)
