Cancer survivors

I survived cancer and now I’m unable to give a shit about the little things. It’s hard making connections cos I was in and out of hospital when people were formulating their lives. Anyone else here survivors like me? How are you? Are we all as disenfranchised with normal ‘work, pay bills’ structure as I am? I need connections but my mind has had cancer, 3 brain operations, chemo and radiotherapy. What’s your story?

Connections with people generally or with a potential life partner ?

Have you had counselling?

Hope you are cancer free now and in the future.

Our brains are amazing because they are plastic. I don't know how long ago this was but you may find some of these skills come back.

Join like minded groups to make connections with others sharing the same interests. Google 'meet up' for groups in your area.

In my work life I'm now even more tenacious, but in my personal life I've become way more easy going... it feels like I've pushed further at either end of the spectrum.

I'm not quite there yet I have breast cancer, I have had 2 ops and radiotherapy, I'm just waiting on final biopsy results for something else they found before I hopefully get the all clear. I did see my cancer nurse today and we were talking about this, cancer has pretty much consumed my every waking thought since my diagnosis last December and it is going to be a hard transition going from that back to 'normal life', the only thing I can say OP is take it one day at a time, don't try and rush things, cancer is life changing as the nurse told me today its not just my body that has to heal but also my mind. I was told about groups I can go to, maybe something like that could help you spending time with people who have been through what you are going through, talking really does help.

Good luck with it all though OP.

I had testicular cancer in my 20s now only have one bollock.

It has affected me I now walk in circles due to the imbalance.

Just joking about the walking in circles.

It hasn't effected me only occasionally I sometimes think that I have had cancer so it's in my body still somewhere and I may get it later although when I had it was 40 years ago
