Hello,
I received news over a year ago that my mum had cancer. The treatment for this cancer has been so delayed and long. I don't know how to cope with the news when we lost someone a few years ago to cancer. I am supporting her the best i can but i just dont know how to feel and i feel if i talk about it it makes me incredibly selfish.
My husband has throat cancer and just completed 7 weeks of radiopherapy it has totally wiped him I was feeling just like you and have been of work with stress even ended up in hospital my self . I was advised by my doctor to talk about it. I'm in leeds and acsessed magies den they are amazing. I also have used the mcmillan on line to help .Your not been selfish but trying to fi d your own way around if you feel that's talking you do it there is people around out there to listen and to support you.
