Michelle
Hello , thats a lot to take on board Michelle, i am really so sorry to hear this news. It’s always difficult to hear something like that but we also know prognosis is a very difficult thing to predict and you never expect to be told this and you have to keep looking at maybe there wrong, and all kinds of other thoughts, but also your having to now look at what this means to you any plans that are needed to be made. I would definitely urge you to call the helpline for some extra support right now, it may not seem much but just talking it though and getting your head around it all is something I hope will be some help to you. Talking about our mortality is difficult and plans obviously need to be made but it be helpful for you to have some extra support with this and it may be a massive help talking to the members in the incurable group about how they are dealing with it etc, i always say only when your going though it you truly understand, its hard no doubt and i am really saddened about this news today, it is as you say so unexpected but even if it was it doesn’t make it any easier I respect that. Keep talking about your thoughts, and emotions right now, lots of people hear to listen and allow you to get them thoughts out.
sending you a massive hug right now
