What a roller-coaster. I wish hospitals understood the impact of dumping the news on you and pushing you straight out the door. No chance to process good or bad news.Take time. Breathe. Give yourself grace, you've been through a lot. I hope you get a good rest & sleep & life gets better soon xxx

So much this 👇

Cancer sucks, don’t allow someone’s toxic positivity make you feel “bad” for feeling down.

Cancer is unfair. It’s okay to feel down. It’s also okay to realize your feelings go in ebbs and flows. #Cansky

Could you discuss this with your GP? They might also be able to refer you to someone who could advise you.

Walking on the beach, or in the countryside. Listening to music. Reading. Pottering in the garden.

Agreed. Time is not guaranteed. We also need to understand that life doesn't only mean big things. Small things are so important too.

There needs to be more support for patients after active treatment, surviving is difficult, our lives change and what was normal no longer exists. It's never over with cancer 👇

Lady Montrevor @ladymontrevor.bsky.social · Sep 12

Cancer completely hijacks your life. Your mental health, your relationships, your finances, your entire life is upended and nothing,not even yourself feels safe anymore. I wish there was more talk about the "after" of cancer. #cansky #kidneycancer #cancer

Tests are not always an unalloyed good thing.

Of course you should get tested if you’re worried.

But tests themselves have a negative impact: rearranging your life, the discomfort of the procedure, the anxiety of waiting for results.

As a cancer survivor it can be tricky to navigate.
