Quick question, when does the bursting into tears without warning ease up! Only diagnosed yesterday and I know everything thing I’m feeling is normal etc but Jesus I’m pissed of with myself already! I can’t go on like this, just want to keep everything as normal as possible for my kids, also has anyone else found that one of the hardest things to deal with is everyone else’s reaction?

Hi thin Lizzy
Please be kind to yourself, this is a very difficult time,I was diagnosed in December and I can hardly remember that entire month, is is such a stressful time.
I was trying to be strong , but constantly screaming inside my head.
Whatever you are felling is totally normal, just remember that.
For me the most difficult time was the beginning when I didn’t have all the information, once I had my plan, and started on my chemotherapy I felt a bit more settled.
I wish you all the very best of luck, it is not easy, I am half way through my chemotherapy now, I have good and bad days, but I feel more calm because I have my plan.
Please feel free to stay in touch, there are a lot of us on this cancer journey.

It is understandable to be over whelmed by the diagnosis. However like the previous lady when you get your plan in place . It seems to give you a focus . I got my third diagnosis in November so bit of a shock .
