"Am I meant to be OK now?"

2 Replies

Every so often we have posts that reflect the difficulties of coping with the after-effects of cancer treatment in a number of different aspects. For quite a while, Macmillan Cancer Support have been concerned about these after-effects, like coming to terms with feelings, emotions, eating difficulties, digestive disorders and other things that will sound all too familiar with some of you. It is not compulsory to have these complications, but they are frequent - and normal. Macmillan recommend that they need to be addressed in a proper recovery package so that patinets can, as far as possible, get back to full health.

The report can be accessed here:
