Mood swings and being sharp with loved ones after being diagnosed with cancer. Is this normal?

I am the most placid person you will meet ( normally) but after being diagnosed a week ago I find myself being very sharp with my Wife & Children, is this normal? & if so I do hope it passes soon .

    Yes it is very common to feel like this for a variety of reasons and is likely to stay with you for a while. You have to consiously make an effort to be kind to your loved ones who initially may annoy you by being overcaring. A cancer diagnosis is a lot to take on board so you also need to be kind to yourself which in turn will help your family.
