Hi. This is my first posting. To be fair, first time I’ve felt anywhere near ready to do anything like this

Hi, im so sorry to hear about your diagnosis… it’s very numbing when you get told… I refused to talk about it to my loved ones it was my way of coping… I reached out to local cancer charities to talk too like Clan cancer here in Scotland. It really helped talking to strangers. It might help you? Maybe a Maggie centre??? 
please take care..,

Hi cowdog I’m so sorry to read your post, I’ve nothing to say but just wanted to let you know we’re all here for you and to send you a big hug. I don’t know how I’d cope with news like you’ve had, it devastating isn’t it. I’m sure people who’s in the same boat as you will be able to answer you soon. Take care xx

Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I could still remember the day that I was told I had cancer. It felt like a horrible nightmare that kept on repeating itself and I pretended for weeks that I did not hear such terrible news. I’m proud of you in the sense that you have the courage to join this forum shortly after hearing the sad news. I’m also new here and its been almost a year now since my diagnosis but it took me such a long time to reach out to other people and talk about it. Maybe talking about it may help you process what you’re going through? Take care.

Hello Cowgate 

I am very sorry for your sad news . Like you I have stage 4 cancer and yes it is a terrible shock but this will pass and you will find a way to come to terms with the diagnosis. I found Maggie's at the Western Edinburgh a huge help and you will find other people to talk too who understand your position . Close family and friends will be there for your journey ahead . At this stage I know its hard to be positive but you must try to find that inner strength to pick yourself up . Big pants on and fight the good fight . Good luck and much love to you .
