Hi im new to this group, i recently lost my sister to pancreatic cancer, i find myself being so angry all the time and im so tired as cant sleep as my brain wont switch off is this normal? 

  • Hi Lee Jane, 

    So sorry for your loss.

    I'm stage 4 incurable cancer.

    It's not pancreatic cancer, but it's down near the bottom of the charts (the thin end of the wedge -  if you Google 5 year survival rates) so not a very good one to get either,  prognosis wise.

    I think maybe you're stuck at the angry phase of grieving,  I know I am, especially seeing as I live a  healthy lifestyle, running  twice a week, have always ate healithly, have always been outdoorsy and very active, even now.

    I think being told you're incurable can make a person go through all the stages of grief as well. I almost want to blame something or someone, which in my heart of hearts I know isn't fair, as everybody is going all out to do their best for me. Doctors, nurses, you name it.

    I think it's the unfairness of it all, plus the helplessness of being in others hands and lack of control that fuels my anger phase. I too am hoping it  doesn't last much longer as youre right - being angry is exhausting.

    Hope you find some peace soon too.x
