“For whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. I remember a port fitted under the collarbone like it was yesterday. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”
“For 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.”
“To whoever needs this: In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The worst part was the oncologist who talks to the screen not to me. This week I went back to my evening class. The bad days get further apart.”
“I was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was a friend who stopped calling after the diagnosis. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
