  • Hello Bernie, so sorry about your diagnosis, and yes, it is normal to feel numb when you are told you have cancer.  It is a huge shock, and at the moment you have not fully processed it.  There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to feel about something like this, but I can assure you that at some point, the reality will sink in.  Violet, x

  • Hi Violet , 

    thank you for replying. I lost my sister 10 years ago to BC. My mum and the rest of my family are terrified and I think im like this because of that. Also my grown up kids too. It's that old saying ....never thought it would happen to us and now it's struck again. I hope im strong enough to take it when it hits me.
