Hi Julie 14 and welcome to the forum and my question to you is  define "normal ". Normal is whatever  you need it to be and how you feel about things so there  is not right or wrong for any of this . Just remember thta if you do need to talk and ask anything or just sound off we are always here for you as you need us to be.

Hope all goes well with the chemo next week and please keep in touch . xx

I'd say it was fairly normal apart from thinking why me I'd say most people are probably in shock for a while then it sinks in slowly and emotions and take hold. Good luck with chemo I hope it's okay for you,in my experience it wasn't too bad. Best regards 

Hi Julie

In my experience the emotional side unfolds as your journey progresses and there is no normal, it is different for everyone although there are perhaps some common features.

I think a grieving pathway is common for many, but not everyone of course.

It’s good that you have made contact with the forum at the start of your pathway.

I hope your first chemo goes well.
