Today I’m feeling really overwhelmed and anxious. I’m a big football fan and my team won the league today. I cried while they celebrated as I keep thinking I won’t live to see that happen again. I’m waiting for results on whether a new tumour is localised or spread. I find myself unable to properly talk about how scared I am to my husband/ loved ones as I feel guilty about worrying them. I know that’s ridiculous but I feel I have to be positive & upbeat so not to bring their mood down. I realise how lonely having cancer is even though I have the most amazing support from everyone in my life. I’m sorry for the self pitying post, just wanted to get my feelings out a bit. Love & strength to you all x

This is not self pity, it's a natural response to feel overwhelmed and scared whilst going through this... I think we have to ride and feel our emotions. Some days we feel upbeat and positive, other times the immensity of the situation catches hold. You know you can speak freely here any time you need xx

It's natural to feel this way, we've all gone through it! Your family are probably trying to stay upbeat but they'll be scared too! It's such an awful situation for everyone! I actually felt relieved when I went for my appointments, because everyone there was in the same boat! You're certainly not being self pitying, as Jen says, talk on here anytime, there's always someone to listen!.

Take care,
