Hi everyone I’m new here I have just had this devastating news and need as much help as possible to get me through it
Hi Frost59f330 welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. We have all been where you are, so we fully understand how you are feeling.
Hello Frost,
Yes, it’s difficult news and takes a bit of getting used to. Everyone one here will try to help in whatever way they can. We are all different so some of our treatments will be different. Just ask any questions and someone will be along to help you if they can. I don’t know if the medical staff have discussed further action or if you will have some other investigations first.
For me my head went round in circles wondering what and how I was going to tell my family. I couldn’t sleep that night so send my daughters emails in the middle of the night. After that I managed to have some sleep. My GpP was also very good and she gave some antidepressants so I could relax a bit. I found waiting for diagnosis and the treatment to begin the worst time.
The staff where I am are all supportive and encourage you to ask questions. You can also call to talk to a MacMillan nurse. I know I did a couple of times. I also spoke to The Samaritans on a couple of occasions when I just needed to unload. I find it easier to talk to a stranger but that’s just me.
Anyway for now I’m wishing you all the best,
Love Daisy
