My daughter has today been diagnosed with stage 4a cervical cancer. She is 31. My head is all over the place and i am terrified and can't stop crying. Everybody says i have to be brave for her and i know that but it doesnt make things any easier. I am trying to find all the information i can to try and make sense of this but i cant make any sense of it at all.
hi Marliee and welcome to our community though so sorry to head about your daughter.
That "brave" bit - easy to say but rather harder to deliver when faced with such news. With my it is my wife with cancer - Leiomyosarcoma and I really struggled. I then did a living with less stress course and came to realise I was working out how to cope without my wife and not enjoying the time we had together. Of course life still loves to throw us curveballs and the breathing exercises are great for helping to cope wht they happen.
Do post on here whenever, we understand because we know the pain too.
<<hugs>>
