Things aren't working properly
I have had some trouble posting comments (apparently they require approval) and thought I should mention it publicly as it's possible that any newbies may think it's a problem only for them given that reporting might take longer to resolve than unusual.
In response to @mrscords post of a couple of days ago - my apologies if you get this half a dozen times on the original discussion thread...
It sounds a bit hackneyed @mrscords but it is true - you need time. Time to take everything on board and time to heal. It's hard to imagine how much of a wrecking ball this thing is until you're going through it. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself the grief that comes with the territory. Do consider accessing counselling - some counsellors have more experience with cancer than others. If you can find something that allows your thoughts to untangle and settle, it can be helpful. For some it's meditation or gardening - for me it was walking. Take care and feel free to come back here for info, support, to vent or even the odd laugh.
