#bestjobintheworld! Do your research - know the ambulance service, the jobs we do, the values we work to and the challenges we face. And keep smiling!

But it does get better 💖

Dealing with long-term mental health problems is a big reality for most young cancer patients (and cancer patients in general too, of course) You can feel like after treatment is finish, you are dropped back into the world, it’s overwhelming and hard to deal with!

But this is still my daily reality. I’ve found what works for me to ensure I’m as mentally well as I can be! 💖

My mental health after cancer has not been an easy ride. I naively thought the end of my treatment was it, but it was just the beginning. After therapy with Pyscho-oncology, which I was so fortunate to be able to access, I can finally say I’m almost recovered.

Cosied up on the sofa watching #Hospital, and thinking of all the amazing NHS staff, always working around the clock 💙 Anyone else watching? 📺

I explored with an Occupational Therapist the idea of it being related to my experience in Intensive Care, which I had a lot of flashbacks off. I was in an isolated room for a several days.

I started to panic being in enclosed spaces, and smelling certain smells (hand sanitizer or anything similar was a big trigger for me), as well as loud noises.

But, I never realised it was because of my cancer diagnosis. I kept on shrugging it off and putting it under the carpet, until I reached out for help.

I went back to university 3 weeks after my last chemotherapy session. Everything was great until a few months later when I started feeling very anxious about things that never used to impact me.

Mental health is such a big issue for young cancer patients. From my experience, the following are quite common: 👉 Anxiety 👉 Depression 👉 PTSD

Thanks Hattie, that's so lovely of you. It's

Hi Seren, loving your posts, well done

what’s your usual twitter handle please

I’m going to talk all things #mentalhealth and #fertility today in relation to my cancer diagnosis. I can’t speak for all young people, but I can also give an overview of what I know. Any questions? 🤷‍♀️

What a beautiful morning in Manchester! It was an early start for me today. Hope you have a good day whatever you are up to...☀️
