on that roller coast ride ...what do I do ...what do I say...where has my brain gone

Hi , it's more likely that there was a glitch (one of the many) in our new upgrade than you pressing the wrong button. Yes, you're normal. A diagnosis of cancer is always shocking and it takes a while to get your head round it. Be kind to yourself and try not to expect too much of your emotions; it's very early days and most of us need some time and support to settle, if that's the right word. You might like to have a look at our Emotions page. It does help to see what others go through and what you can do to look after yourself in the long journey of caring for someone with cancer. If you need to chat, do call the helpline on 0808 808 0000, it's manned by very caring experts. And talk to us, we're here for you.

Love and hugs,

Hi needinghelp

I’m so sorry for you, it’s so hard to deal with the constant waves of emotions that follow when someone we love gets a cancer diagnosis  but as LoobyLou49 says, it’s normal to be overwhelmed, I know I was, but the kind, understanding support and advice that I got on here got me through the worst. Just reading other people’s stories helped me understand I wasn’t alone and you’re not either.

Take care........big hugs Budge x
