It can be very difficult coping with a diagnosis of cancer, both practically and emotionally. You are likely to be feeling very confused and upset at first. Mesothelioma is often diagnosed at quite an advanced stage. As well as coping with your diagnosis, you may be trying to cope with the news that your cancer is very difficult to treat and unlikely to be curable.
As well as coping with the fear and anxiety that a diagnosis of cancer brings, you have to work out how to manage practically. There may be money matters to sort out. Who do you tell you have cancer? There may be children or grandchildren to consider.
The ‘coping with cancer’ section of CancerHelp UK contains lots of information you may find helpful.
