Today, I made it to a really helpful event at the Christie. Yesterday, I’d decided not to go (waiting for scan/results is exhausting, keeping yourself ‘up’), then woke up this morning thinking, this is probably exactly what I need. I was largely going because I’m hoping that our team will be funded for Macmillan research into social media/cancer, and I wanted to see the level at which dissemination took place. I found the event a good reminder of why I’ve been undertaking exercise, counselling, etc. and a reminder that many of the complex emotions whizzing through my head are pretty normal. A really nicely paced (short) day, which gave the opportunity to meet others in a similar boat, time for presentations with short sections of structured content offering opportunities to think about own situation, and some chit-chat.
