Just diagnosed yesterday with breast cancer, struggling with my emotions can anyone give me some advice on how to distract myself now and during future appointment
Hi Caroline and welcome to the group. Trying to keep your mind occupied with other thoughts is so hard but my best advice is Google is not your friend. Use your nurses and the phone number you have been given to contact them - they are amazing. Write down any questions and anxieties you have so you don't forget to ask anything in appointments.
I turned into a puzzle queen and have sudoku, crossword and wordsearches all over the house to focus my brain on other things.
Don't bottle anything up - it really helped me to talk to people about it.
Macmillan are fabulous and there are brilliant people on here who can give you much better advice than me.
