I’ve recently been told I have breast cancer, 2 weeks ago. I’m so emotional and finding it hard to switch off, everything seems 1000 times bigger and worse and I can’t stop crying. Finding it hard to be normal right now.
Hi Zoe
I see you have already had some replies in the Breast cancer forum and I am glad to see that.
On the emotional front it can take some time before we manage to move to what becomes our new normal.
There are a whole range of emotions people go through, if we look at Cancer and your emotions there are many typical reactions and also quite a number of suggestions on how we can find support.
I know how things got a bit easier when we had a treatment plan in place.
<<hugs>>
