I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer nearly four weeks ago and I am struggling with processing the news. I keep thinking about my family and the effect it is having on them .I have good friends but they are keeping in touch but only once a week . I feel isolated and I'm finding it hard to talk about it as everyone keeps switching the conversation or saying let's not talk about it. It was the last thing I expected to hear as I only finished treatment less than a year ago and was told it was good news ie tumour not measurable and lymph nodes back to normal in October. I also feel angry that it has taken so long since symptoms appeared which was in November and finally had the biopsy the beginning of May. Fortunately I have my first counselling session tomorrow.
