Cancer or Life-Limiting IllnessA cancer diagnosis changes everything. A seemingly endless list of questions appear. How could this happen to me, or to my partner, mother, brother, friend? Am I going to die? Did I cause my cancer? Should I continue treatment? Am I hurting myself by putting toxic chemicals into my body? I’m depressed—but isn’t that to be expected? What do I tell my children? Why am I so angry? I don’t understand much of what my doctor is telling me. How will I get through this? People tell me I must be positive or I won’t ‘win’ this battle, but that’s not how I feel.
