Hey Marie,

It's really hard not to be depressed. But it will help you so much to try and put the negative thoughts away and switch off. As I said to Katie, put your favourite music on (no sad songs). Keep it as upbeat as you can. Find a mindnumbing hobby. I build scale balsa aeroplanes. They never fly but just sitting there concentrating on them with the radio on has been a great help. I'm not suggesting balsa planes but there are some great arts and crafts to try. 

Stay positive and those around you will be more positive... 

Hi Thankyou for this  ...I'm trying to stay strong and I'm going to take your advice and take up a hobby anything to take my mind away from thinking about it...maybe not building planes probably knitting..going for biopsy today so not looking forward to it xx 

Good luck with your biopsy. Put me first in line for a scarf when you start knitting... BTW three little birds by Bob Marley, best song in the world to listen to xx

Haha Thanks will get the needles going and listen to a bit of Bob

Hello I just received the same diagnosis as you today, I am the same age as you ish (41) I understand how you feel. I feel gutted and scared. How are you doing? X

The same found out today, please feel free to contact me to talk. So scared and so much I wanted to do in life. I also need to talk to people in the same boat x

Hi is it a pancreatic NET and liver you have got x

Hi I felt so scared wen first diagnosed but found out it's a neucrodine Net and seen a consultant at a hospital in Manchester I feel more at ease still scared but hopefully they can do something to help and slow it all down x I've just started chemo treatment x

Hi hope your ok and yes its normal to feel scared ...so do I but since going to the hospital and speaking to a consultant I feel more understanding and positive ... even though its very hard a positive mind is always the best and hopefully some treatment to help this awful disease x I've just started chemo to try slow and contain it for a while x
