Hi Lisa I feel exactly the same way. I think we are angry cos we don't know why it happens to the people we love. I've been so snappy and stressy at work and with my friends I can't help it I just apologise and hope they will understand. Maybe try the gym or running? Or some breathing exercises like resting in for 4 hold for 7 breathe out for 8 really calms me down xx

I've just taken up boxing training hoping that will help but my temper always seems to be bubbling under the surface . I get a taxi with my mum to Weston park hospital and can easily get frustrated with taxi drivers asking questions , I sit and huff and puff thinking for Pete's sake will you shut up , I don't know you . They are just trying to be nice but I get really wound up. Mind u yesterday one taxi driver said which one has cancer ! The. Proceeded to ask what type xxx 

Hi Lisa ..... I am sorry to hear of Mum's diagnosis and hope she is coping well with the treatment.  As has been said, anger is natural but in my opinion yours seems to be a little misguided towards others who are no doubt genuinely empathising with what you and your family are going through. Be aware that they may also be going through a similar thing or have lost someone they love to the disease.

It is cancer you should be angry with, not other people!  I too have had many conversations with taxi drivers taking me to the 'cancer hospital' - I have had offers from them to pre-book free journeys, advice on treatment side-effects and one lovely guy even gave me his number and offered to pick me up from the train station and take me 5miles every three weeks free of charge because he didnt think I should be getting on and off The Tube!  Try not to think the worse of people - most genuinely care.

I understand where you are coming from to some degree because I too have every right to feel angry.  I have a terminal prognosis and face leaving those I love dearly within months. I am in constant pain, have been on chemo over 3yrs, have difficulty eating, can no longer drive, am skint because I can no longer work and nor can my partner as he now has to care for me. I could go on - but what the heck is the point and why is it anyone elses fault who may feel they want to offer a kind word?

Next time you feel a wobbly coming on - open your arms and sing the song from Frozen 'Let it Go' at the top of your voice.  It works wonders and will certainly silence the poor taxi drivers lol!!!!  All the best to you and your Mum x

You're right it is cancer I should be angry at xxx

It was a short reply as I a, practicing singing let it go xx. Lol , thanks for the smiles
