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 👇

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.

At last an advert with a more realistic portrayal of cancer patients, thank you @breastcancernow.bsky.social
Yes, we do feel awful, stressed, scared, anxious. Yes we might pretend we are okay, but we're not.

"Acknowledge our pain". Yes, 100%!

Hayley Gullen @hayleygullen.com · Sep 6

There are plenty of guides about “what not to say to someone with cancer” and while I fully agree with these (and have offered my own advice on this matter) I don’t want loved ones to feel too nervous about reaching out with clumsy words. Better to do that than not be there at all.

I've learned that even the little things are big - small wins are big wins, small joys are big. We need all the good we can get, it all helps.
