5 days later

1 minute read time.

I found out 5 days ago, i walked in to the doctor's office after waiting for an hour and a half past my appointment time and was told the worse ( i don't use the C word).  I think my first word was bugger, i'm not sure how i was suppose to react as they stared at me with that look! the look everyone does when they find out.  My husband slowly turned a funny colour and slid off the chair as i asked questions about how quick can this be dealt with, my attitude is that i want it out, give me whatever treatment and that i will be fine.  This is not the attitude of everyone else who are acting like i'm on my last legs.  Should i be more negative? Is there a way i am suppose to be acting? I am fed up today, fed up of telling people, fed up that i have to deal with this,fed up that i still have to think what is for dinner, walk the dog, do the ironing, deal with the kids as it is the school holidays etc etc.....i know i said let's carry on as normal but at some point is this going to be about me?

    Stay strong Darcy. We're all in this together. The way I looked at it was that I had 2 choices: 1. I could feel sorry for myself and let it get me down or 2. Fight it head on, try and live as normal a life as I could and keep smiling. I chose number 2. There are times when it gets hard but you just have to see this through, pick yourself up, dust yourself down and carry on fighting.

    Hang in there Darcy, you'll get lots of support on here.

    Hi Darcy,

    No right and wrongs with this I'm afraid. We're all different and we all deal with it the best way we can. There is no rule book!

    Deal with it in a way that's right for you and your family.

    Good luck and keep us posted.

    Hi Darcy - speaking from the other side I have to say it can be damn hard to know how to deal with this if you don't use 'plain speak' & tell us ! Sounds like you can speak your mind so go for it and tell people exactly what you want & hopefully you will get the response you want and the help you need. Would have made me feel a lot less guilty about my (lack of) care etc if my sister had been totally honest with me.

    Take care & rant away on here - it's the perfect sanctuary.
