Fear

Hi Tricia

I'm the same when i think about it, i get angry too.

My way of coping with it to distract myself with something as soon as i start to think about it. 

Everyone deals with it differently, maybe this is your way.

It's one hell of a thing to come to terms with so don't feel ashamed.

Maybe arrange something to give yourself something to look forward to, even it's only something small like meeting a friend for coffee.

Sending you a hug

Hi Tricia we all have them feelings, sad tearful angry gradually you'll come to terms with it. As Cat said you'll find your way to handle it. Me I wack the music on loud and dance like a mad woman, or clean my flat, some people exercise. It's what ever uou can manage. XX

I'm exactly the same. It Just doenst go out of my head. I went out last night with friends then cane home and cried .went to bed and cried.ive noway come to terms with it .I don't actually no wat to think anymore to be honest. I've rang the helpline and they were really good so wenever you feeling really down give them a ring they can put you in touch with amazing councillors xx

Have you phoned the Macmillan helpline?  They are really understanding.  They have heard it all before and will have some suggestions for you, or will just listen.  

Hi Tricia08022023 , it's so tough and such a great shock at the beginning. I was diagnosed in March 2015 and honestly Tricia, you will eventually get used to the diagnosis. Try to keep active by taking up a new skill or learning a new language at night school. You know yourself what you like so throw yourself into it.

Even though I was diagnosed almost 8 years ago but I still think about having cancer a couple of hundred times a day. The internal pain subsides, I promise.
