Pretty sure I have cancer now. I made an appt for the 23rd of this month but I'm so paranoid bc I had oral as well as anal sex and think of the cells spreading their too.
I get thoughts of suicide bc I don't want to die by cancer. I want to have some control over my life... I want to die on my own terms.
If anyones been in my head space how did you stay alive? My diagnoses won't get better the cancer is just going to spread. I have hpv 16 and 18. These cant be cleared.
Hi Cecylia your little boy needs you. It"s good that you have made an appointment to deal with your physical symptoms - now you need help dealing with your emotions. HPV CAN be suppressed into dormancy. 80% of people have it. You must talk to someone about how you are feeling, a counsellor, your gp, Jo's helpline, the Samaritans, MacMillan. You are not alone and you can get through this. The whole covid lockdown thing is not helping at the moment. Look at the advice on the web pages on looking after your mental health. Think about your son - he needs you and needs you to love yourself and take care of yourself.
