Anger

I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer four weeks ago and am now alternating between despair and anger. The anger is worse as it feels so destructive. I feel completely out of control and cannot imagine a future feeling this way all the time. I live in a country where euthanasia is an option and I find myself talking and thinking about it even though I don't want to die. I just don't know how to live with this. I know no one has answers. I just need to say this.

  • Hi Shirley A , I am in a similar situation myself,  I was told that this time I won't be cured after previously having triple negative breast cancer twice before,, I think you feel in absolute despair that there's not going to be an end to treatment,  I found a book called Radical Remission that I'm reading and it does help with trying to be positive  , I'm so sorry for how you feel but you're not alone..keep fighting  x

  • Thanks for your reply. I'm so sorry you are in a similar situation. It helps to hear from you even though I truly wish you weren't in this position. I have my next review in April when I hopefully will find out if the Letrozol is having any effect. It all seems so random. I will try to get hold of the book you mention. You're not alone either. X

  • Thank you Shirley A, I truly hope that the Letrozol is having an effect for you,  it does help to talk to others who are going through similar things,  but it is hard having to live with cancer full stop , good health is everything and I don't think some people appreciate just how lucky they are.  Stay strong and keep fighting x
