Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I was diagnosed with 2b squamous cell cancer of the cervix at the beginning of the year and finished treatment in June. I was recently cleared and will now have regular monitoring. Physically I am doing very well and recovering nicely but mentally I am struggling. I can't get the thoughts of the cancer coming back out of my mind or if it has even gone. I have only told immediate family and a few close friends about my diagnosis. I am 29 years old and have a young daughter and am desperately trying to hold it all together. I feel like I want to talk to my friends and open up about everything but I don't know how to bring it up in conversation. Ive been thinking about counselling lately..has anyone gone down that route and found it helpful? Thank you all x
