I keep chattering all the time and my mind is going in to overdrive, crying all the time, driving my nearest and dearest nuts. I feel like i am in a washing machine, any tips on coping welcome and am i normal?

  • Hi, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis! You are completely normal, it's a really hard time you are going through and no one could understand the emotions you're feeling! All I can say is the way I'm coping is by thinking positively and thinking how strong you are as a person and how much they can do now. Take every opportunity and seize the day! I wish you all the best x
  • Hello sorry to hear of your diagnosis. You have to be positive. I was diagnosed Sept 2015. Breast and lymph nodes. You will get through it. What I did, if you are having g chemo? Is after every treatment I used to have a goal. Like maybe a new t shirt then next time as new eye-shadow. Whilst in hospital take a book to read to try take your mind off. There is also MacMillan you can talk to. Hope this helps a little x
