SCM, I am so sorry............I know it is only words, but I truly do know how you feel. I also have advanced cancer with no options. Do you have a support network around you? Family? Friends? If not, please speak to the MacMillan nurses, that's what they are there for. They will be able to point you in the right direction for the emotional support you will need. Right now, you are in shock.........it will take you some time to fully get your head around what has happened to you. Everyone is different, and I can not say for sure how you will cope once the reality of your situation has truly sunk in. For me personally, I have reached a calm sort of acceptance..............I am making the most of the time I have got left with my husband and I am taking it one step at a time................I know this might seem hard to believe right at this moment, but you will find the strength to cope with this, I promise you. Once again, I am so sorry about your devastating news, much love and strength to you, Violet, x
