Hi All, new here and not sure what to say but wondering if others have a similar feeling.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in July and have started palliative chemo to keep it at bay. I'm 41 have two young children, a wife and close family and friends. Everyone is being very supportive and helpful.
My problem is I am not feeling as bad as I thought of believe I should be feeling. Physically I'm ok but emotionally I'm beginning to struggle. This is mostly because I see how my family are coping with the diagnosis and I feel sad for them.
Is this normal? I even asked my chemo nurse today if the treatment could be strengthened so I would feel more sick and aligned with my family's thoughts.
I just feel guilty
Thanks Al
