Received my diagnosis axweek ago . Unsure how am meant to be feeling. I feel unwell at the moment and unsure if it's due to the cancer or another problem. Seeing my local doctor on Tuesday so hoping for some answers then x
Chasdeee. I went through a complete mix of emotions during the diagnosis stage then when I got my diagnosis didn't know how I was meant to feel. I waited to tell other people until everything was confirmed for sure so felt like I was on an escalator going through the appointments and process. That seemed to work OK for me. But really there is no way you "should" be feeling right now, just be kind to yourself, there's lots to take in.
I felt quite unwell but it was definitely down to stress and lack of sleep. Do you know what your next steps are and time frames yet?
