Hi 2022 welcome to the forum. Yes it is definetely something that will pass, but its ok if you feel like having  a cry, life has dealt a hard blow and we don't always know how to best deal with that, so we try the best we can, which is what you are doing.

That time waiting is the absolute pits and none of us like that part at all and can relate totally to how you will be feeling. What I will say to you is that once you know all the details and have a plan, things will start to look very different for you and you will need that "I can do this" attitude and we will be with you every step of the way. 

Sending some hugs meantime. xxx

Hello 2022

it can feel very overwhelming to get a Cancer diagnosis, and life as you knew it does change. Tears will be part of this journey, but if you remember they are a way of healing then they don’t bother you as much when they show up. I cry constantly but after I feel much better. They release tension and frustration and reduce anxiety……

as for everything being framed around cancer, yes life will seem that way. Suddenly you notice more adverts on Tv , or on Social media, songs or tv programmes seem to evoke more emotion…..it’s because you are tuned into seeing and hearing more than you noticed previously . 
Try to give yourself breaks from tv etc… if it all becomes to much …

Cancer is a bit like grief ,we are experiencing loss like never before.  We need to just be kinder to ourself, I learned overtime not to sweat the small stuff , and find quiet times just for me. It helps rebuild a little bit at a time…..baby steps….

take care of yourself 

regards
