Hi, my mum was diagnosed with metastatic cancer 2 days ago, I'm struggling so much with racing thoughts, nausea, running to toilet a lot, no appetite. Severe anxiety and sadness, is this normal and how can I help myself? I'm thinking the worst case scenario even though we don't have all the answers yet, many thanks in advance
Hi Ea1
I'm so very sorry to hear about your husband diagnosis. It is so hard to get your head around-it almost feels like a (bad) dream. And it does feel so very cruel. I hope that your husband can start some treatment soon and that he is responsive to it.
Sending you lots of love and hugs
Xx
