Since my diagnosis a few days ago of carcinosarcoma I have been experiencing headaches and chest pain, it probably is anxiety after the shock of it all but is it something worth mentioning to the nurse. Thanks

  • You are in shock, it's big news and not the news anyone imagined they'd ever hear. I remember feeling really rough and having a lot of pain. Do menion it to your nurse to be checked just in case it's something sinister.

    In the menatime focus on seeing friends and chatting, getting fresh air every day and eating as healthily as you can. Getting myself as physically ready for the surgery and treatment ahead made me feel like there was at least something I could be in control of. 

    Once you have a treatment plan / things start moving fowards you will feel a bit better, 

  • Thank you very much for your reply Blush xx
