Hi all

Hey there.  I’m very new to this also being emotional I think is normal.  

How you should feel is how you feel.  Cry scream laugh but just keep talking.  Never never suffer in silence.   

This journey is probably going to be hard for us both so don’t  forget to enjoy whatever it is that normally brings you joy.  I’m starting to enjoy the more simple things in life.  I hope you can too

Hi Devonman1952 and a warm welcome to the board. A cancer diagnosis can be a real shock and it’s natural to feel a range of emotions. Have a cry when you need one and then pick yourself up, take a deep breath and say ‘I can do this’. 
I went through the same treatment back in 2016/17 and it’s tough but they told me that they were treating me with a ‘view to cure’ and I’ll be celebrating my 8 year ‘no evidence of disease’ anniversary on Thursday. 

We’re all at different stages of treatment and recovery on here and happy to help and support you through yours. The support desk is also available 7 days a week from 8-8 if you’d like to talk things through with someone in person?

Take care

It's never stupid to feel how you feel. Feelings aren't logical. I've cried quite a bit during my journey. I cry when I'm sad and when I'm angry. Expressing emotions helps me let them go then pick myself up and start moving forward.
