Being recently diagnosed I'm still trying to process the diagnosis as well as all the emotions it's brought with it. The last week or so I find myself getting extremely angry over stupid things but can't seem to help it. I was wondering if this is normal, will it resolve itself or do I need therapy to help me come to terms with it? Any help would be appreciated x

  • Hi  I see that you joined the community last year after your dad was possibly diagnosed with prostate cancer........ but sorry to see that you are now dealing with cancer diagnosis..... this a hard time for you and I can understand why you are angry.....and yes it is normal but it's worth talking with others on the same journey.

    After looking at your profile..... can I highlight our Neuroendocrine tumours support group. This is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.

    As for support, 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.

    Macmillan have also teamed up with Bupa to offer up to 6 free counselling sessions for people struggling emotionally because they are living with cancer. Clicking on the link will give you more information about this.

  • Thank you for taking the time to reply, we do have a local macmillan at the hospital so I'll either ring or pop in when I go for my scan. X
