I feel like I’m drowning

Recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm a single Mum to a gorgeous boy, I'm 40yrs old. Healthy and well and then all of a sudden I just feel like my whole world is collapsing around me. I thought I was coping with the diagnosis ok, just got diagnosed last week. Today I'm struggling really bad, I'm scared and panicky. I can't do this :(

  • I was diagnoised this week with the same and am feeling exactly like you, terrified.. I don't feel like myself, feel trapped and tearful.. Everyone says one step at a time which is easier said than done. I don't have any words to help, but you are not alone. xx

    I'm so sorry that you're in the same situation. It's just so much for our brains to take in. I think I'm still at the "why me" stage and just find it all so unfair but as the days go on I'm getting stronger and trying to be more positive. Last night I just completely freaked out. I can tell that this forum will be good for us. Let's keep chatting on here. We WILL get through this!x
