Breast cancer diagnosis 27th May - I hate the fact my life is no longer under my control

Cried when they told me, now I  am numb, waiting on my first appointment to discuss way forward.

Starting to tell family and keeping busy as there is little I can do for now.

I hate the fact my life is no longer under my control.

That I can't plan anything or continue to book clients in the next 6 months.in my business 

I hate the fact that am now 'the one' with cancer.

  • Hi Mintymo.

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It does feel as if your life is not your own when you get a cancer diagnosis. Everything happens so quickly. You will find it all a little easier to cope with once you have a definite diagnosis and can start with surgery or treatment.

    Can you get anyone to manage your clients for 6 months? I had to do this and it worked very well.

    Try not to think of yourself as the "one with cancer" - the more positive you can be throughout this, the better you'll cope. It won't be long until you get rid of the cancer, then you should be proud of the fact that you've faced this challenge, met it head on and overcome it!

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
