Weekdays and Saturday mornings
โIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was work asking when I will be back. These days I mostly feel like me. You're not on your own.โ
โI was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. It was waiting four weeks for scan results and I couldn't see past it. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
โIf you've just found this place, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was the oncologist who talks to the screen not to me. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: A few years back, that was me. For me it was scanxiety before every check. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
