eveny time i wake up i seem to feel down

Hi Doreenw

I am sorry that you are feeling down. 

I think we all probably feel down at some point in our cancer journey. It's to be expected really. It can be a challenging time for us, even when we have support around us. 

Have you spoken to anyone about how you are feeling? It might be helpful to speak to your GP. 

Perhaps give the Support Line a call. They can also have a look to see if there is any support near where you live.

iv try the support line before but didn't find them helpful not sure what the doctor s can do I've 

Hi Doreen,

I just wonder if the doctors can help if you are having low moods- understandable after cancer. Sometimes doctors also would have a counsellor attached to the surgery that may help. 

I am sorry to hear that you did not find the support line helpful- perhaps give it another go? I have found them really helpful. You could ask about the Macmillan Buddy service- the one I sent you the link for. 

You could also ask if there is anything in your area that you could go to. Some areas have after cancer courses. I know at my hospital there is also HOPE support.

im waiting for some coulling and iv been going to the doctors to to someone they not a coullier they call her chapinen 

and someone at a drop in centre were I go when I say about someone having a corule but in it seem to trigger me and make me feel sad because I can't have children she said im getting to old im 48 and i should think myself lucky im not sure if this true but it's not my fault if it trigger s me or is she right?

Its normal to feel a sense of loss if a cancer diagnosis has affected you being able to have children. I suppose its a sort of grieving. Even though you are older, it does not mean its not a loss.

I can understand why someone saying something like that would trigger you- and its not your fault. 

What treatment did you have- if that is ok to ask? Sometimes it can help to share with someone who has had similar treatment

If you have been told that your life is shortened by cancer it's perfectly natural to be devastated and sad.

I am stage 4 incurable and with 6 - 18 months to possibly live if they cannot find a chemotherapy regime to stop progression.

I'm 69 and thought I would live to my 90s like my Nana I am sad shocked and pretty low inside most of the time.
