Hi 

I'm sorry to hear your news, don't be hard on yourself it's a lot to take in, I've recently been diagnosed as terminal, but I can't change it so have decided to live with it.

your emotions will be all over the place and it's OK to have a wobble now and again.

You will find loads of support on here anytime you need to talk xx

Hi Eve,

There's no such thing as normal in our situation, we all just do what we need to do to try to keep sane.

I was emotionally numb for ages after my diagnosis, just plodded on with things and tried not to think about it too much. Other people cry all the time, some of us get angry, yet others seem to be more accepting.

Waiting for tests, treatments and results does my head in.

Best wishes

Hi Eve, welcome to the forum, but sorry you find yourself here because of a cancer diagnosis. Those of us on here understand what you feel right now. We've been there ourselves and know what that's like. It takes some time to come to terms with it so don't be too hard on yourself at this point. Eventually, we bite the bullet and get down to business taking care of what we need to do in managing this terrible disease. When you feel up to it, talk with your family, friends, and whoever in your life is supportive. The ones that are not supportive, keep some distance from.

I'm not familiar with your particular cancer as I have other cancers. We're all here dealing with one type or another, but whatever cancer(s)  we have, our journeys are similar. Just know that people on here know and understand how you feel right now and there is support here for you. Come on here and "talk" to us. It will help to get you through this.

Take care and sending you hugs.

Hi Eve,I too was diagnosed this past week,its been 6 days of shock,being brave in front of my teenage daughter and friends,it's a weird feeling but it is normal to feel a mix of all emotions, I cried alone,then I was numb,then anger all that is completely normal.

I waited 6 weeks of tests,scans,a groin biopsy and a bone marrow biopsy which I had 4 days ago now still recovering from that and got told I had Lymphoma,I start chemo tomoro!  :-(

Try to talk on here if you feel you need to,I know it's hard to talk to family I'm the same.

Good luck and let us know how your are?

Best wishes
