Hello Becky2374

I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling at the moment. What you're experiencing is a normal part of many people's journey with cancer. You have been through so much over the past few months and it's understandable that you're feeling emotional and overwhelmed by everything. 

I know that many people have found it helpful to talk through their thoughts and feelings at times like this and to access support. With the festive period now upon us, many services are closed or limited including our own nurse helpline. However, if you want to talk to someone today the Macmillan support line is open from 8 am to 8 pm and all over the Christmas period. You can find contact details here. 

I'd really encourage you to talk with the team next time you go for treatment as well. It's possible that there are support services locally that you can access. Alternatively, you may want to get in touch with your local Maggies centre. 

It can be hard when you're used to being so independent to lean into the emotional discomfort that comes as part of the cancer journey so be kind to yourself Becky.

The Cancer Chat community and moderation team are here for you. 

Best wishes,

Hello I do understand I also felt the same,it is an emotional time with chemo your body is going through a lot,you will feel like that from time to time but it is normal,I had a year of chemo and kept telling myself I can fight all those feelings.I also had radiotherapy,but I would still have gone through it all,try to keep busy reading or watching the tv,just try too keep strong you will get through this.If your appetite goes soup is a good source of food,and if you start too feel a bit sickly try eating mints or ginger biscuits.I wish you well x
