Not quite feeling how you expected to after cancer, and wondering if that's normal?
You’ve just been through a very traumatic period in your life. From the moment you spotted worrying symptoms, you might feel as though you’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster.
Having successfully completed treatment, you were probably hoping the recovery journey would be more straightforward, but it’s possible that you’re not quite feeling how you expected to.
Most people imagine that they’ll feel relieved and that life will get back to how it was before.
In reality, the initial joy they experience when they’re first told their cancer treatment has worked, and that there’s no longer any evidence of disease, can quickly give way to feelings of loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and even guilt.
If you’re wondering whether what you’re going through is normal, it is, and you’re definitely not alone.
Cancer Coach is free of charge and always will be. We do not believe that anyone accessing any type of cancer support should have to pay for it. Our Cancer Coach service is funded by Trust and Grant awards, as well as very kind and generous legacy donations and fundraising events.
Cancer Coach groups are suitable for people who have previously had a stage 1-3 cancer diagnosis.
