Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask how life has been for others, who were lucky enough to beat cancer and carry on with their lives. Personally for me, the first couple of months were quite rough, as I had to get accustomed to the effects of the surgery and build my strength back up, but after a tough few months, it went well. I could spend time with family, meet friends and also do a bit of travelling. Sure there is the fear of remission, but it has opened my mind, in a way , that makes me think differnetly to how I was. Let me hear your thoughts and stories too

See ya

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
