Hello ceridwen and welcome, I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis and that you feel lonely, Can i ask is it the diagnosis and how it is effecting you emotionally making you feel lonely or is there no one there for you to talk to at this time or you don't feel comfortable talking to them, I know what a blow it is to be told you have cancer and all the thoughts, feelings and worries you have, if i can help in anyway you only have to ask, please take care.
It's the feeling utterly on the outside of my own life. Those closest to me are trying to help but nothing is helping. It's how it's making me feel emotionally.
I am also petrified of dying. It is a brain tumour. I have dependents.
Hi Ceridwen. My cancer is terminal and I have three grown up children and know how emotionally difficult it is. I have counselling at my hospice which helps and even seen a psychologist. Ceridwen I was diagnosed 20 months ago so have had time to readjust to my new life, it wasn't easy and it took time but I am OK with my situation, though I do have my moments. I think everyone is scared of dying but you can't live your life being scared. I know you said your a Yorkshire lass. In Leeds is a cancer charity charity called Maggies next to the hospital who have been a big help as well. Take care.
Hi Ceridwen, so sorry to hear of your diagnosis and understand how you are feeling. I too have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and am just starting on this difficult journey. I have found this site so helpful and reassuring, hopefully you will too. Always willing to have chat and hope your treatment goes well. Xx
