Counselling can help many people - the tricky part is to find the right person. Your GP or oncologist may be able to recommend someone. It can help too if you can identify the issues that cause you particular concern - it often feels like ‘all of it’ but there are usually key matters that benefit from calm discussion with an experienced outsider. It may also help to think about navigating forward to normal. None of us can go back, this is an unforeseen part of your life but it is a part. It doesn’t need to rule your life though. Take one day at a time, and remember that your own well-being is essential, before you can assist the wellbeing of others. Best wishes for the next stage of your treatment.
