Hi Sarah,
I know what you mean, after Steve's diagnosis i think we both had a bit of a meltdown. His consultant arranged for us to see special oncology counsellors based at our local hospital. We both had different needs at the time, but as a carer trying to come to terms with everything I found it so very helpful. I think when things are tough we manage to hold things together, but after a while and as things get a little better, suddenly the full force ofwhat has happened can hit us.
If your doctor cant help then maybe you could try Macmillans nurses, they might be able to put you in touch with someone.
Good luck and be kind to yourself, you are going through a very tough time,
Much love
Mari xx
