I’m sorry to read about your situation and the effect it is having on your mental health.
I'm not sure what steps you’ve taken to get some help. As Steph one of our moderators suggested there is support available when you are feeling distressed or suicidal. it is important that you share how you are feeling, so I hope you’ve been able to reach out to the support organisations she included in her response.
Cancer treatment can be incredibly tough, not just physically but emotionally to. Please talk to your specialist team about how you are feeling. If you have a specialist nurse (CNS) involved in your care then perhaps they can provide you with further information. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.
Your team will assess you and see if see if any of the medications you are taking is contributing to the mood swings you are experiencing and they will advise you further.
We do have information on our website on getting support for your mental health.

I don’t mean to be flippant - I have stage4 advanced prostate cancer that has gone into my spine and pelvis.I also have Aplastic Anaemia and PNH (Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemaglobinuria ) None of them bother me although all three are very serious and incurable , In the case of the two bone marrow disorders , serious and extremely rare.I haven’t lost a minutes sleep worrying about any of them . My quality of life is dreadful all three of them have chronic fatigue as their main side affect.! AWFUL, really AWFUL !!
As for the suggestion about 999 or A&E - you’ll be dead and buried before either of those take care of you - Sorry to be so apathetic.
