It’s common to feel sad after cancer has been diagnosed. The sadness may come and go, or may be present much of the time.
There are often many changes to be made and you may feel grief as a result of these changes, and at the thought that your future may not be as you had planned.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm)
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.
