The initial joy you experience when you're first told that your cancer treatment has worked, and that there's no longer any evidence of disease, can quickly give way to feelings of loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and even guilt.

You might be experiencing anxiety and fear, worries about returning to work, body image issues, embarrassment, loneliness and feeling lost, frustration and guilt, sadness, and low mood.

It's particularly common to find yourself worrying about the possibility of your cancer returning, and having to go through the whole experience again.

Talking with others who have been through similar experiences can be incredibly helpful, and that's what Focus Forwards is all about.

The sessions are led by our Cancer Coach experts, many of whom have their own experiences of receiving a cancer diagnosis, followed by treatment and recovery.
