I was diagnosed with cancer some time ago. I'm struggling to cope mentally with it. Would like to chat with someone who's having problems too

Hi Lally and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.
I've just had a quick look at your profile and I'm really sorry to read what a tough time you've had over the last couple of years but glad you've joined us as many of our members will understand the struggles you've having at the moment having been in similar positions themselves and I'm sure some of them will pop by soon to offer their support and advice.
I'm not sure if this is something you have looked in to already, but counselling may help with your mental health. Some of our members found it really helpful on their journeys so this may be an avenue worth exploring if you're finding it difficult to express your emotions to your loved ones.
Our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to talk things through with them as well.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
