Hi all
I'm new here, beware my verbal diarrhoea is about to begin. In March this year my cancer was removed from my bladder in what I can only describe as the most traumatic experience of my life. I was 20 weeks pregnant at the time and fortunately they got it all out and bubs is fine. At the time, I treated the whole experience as 'It's just a word' but as time goes on and my next check up is approaching I've realised it's hard not to let it take over my life. Yes I am cancer free and I am so grateful. Yes my baby inside me has saved my life. I had no symptoms and it was only detected at my 8 week scan. What I struggle with now is the constant reminders that this cancer will probably come back, people wanting to know everything about my appointments and when and it's driving me nuts. I would have preferred this journey to be taken alone as although my family cares, I struggle with all the questions. It's like yet another reminder of the past. 2 months post surgery I feel like it's back already, I can't explain how but it's just a feeling. I really hope I'm wrong. My next check is July following the birth of my baby. How does everyone cope post cancer???
