"Am I meant to be OK now?"

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.

Thanks Alan - good report

We all know how good the NHS are in treating the illness but how poor/time stretched they are in treating patients post-op
