Hi, 

Ive been newly diagnosed with cervical cancer and am feeling completely lost. I dont know what im doing, how to explain how I feel to family and friends, if im honest i dont really know how i feel myself. 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your diagnoses.

    This is such a stressful and challenging time for you, but when it comes to getting support and asking questions there is nothing better than talking with others who are on the ‘exact’ same cancer and treatment journey.

    The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) but I do see that you have already joined and posted in our in our Cervical cancer support group. This is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.

    Macmillan have many support services so do check out the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. These services provide cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.  We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.

    We also have our Telephone Buddy Service where you can be matched with someone who understands what you're going through, and they'll give you a weekly call.

    Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and aim to give support to all the family.

    Do get back to me if you need further help.

    ((hugs))
