Hi everyone. I’ve recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer and I also have a precancerous growth on my pancreas. Having these two things to worry about at once is feeling incredibly heavy, especially because I live on my own.
I’m finding the isolation very hard. I have two sisters, but unfortunately, they aren't able to be the support system I need right now. One is quite judgmental and we aren't in contact, and the other has only reached out once since I got my news. I sent a text today to try and express how much I'm struggling, but now I'm sitting here in the quiet second-guessing myself.
It’s a lot to carry by myself. I’m wondering if anyone else here lives alone while navigating treatment? Or perhaps someone who has had to manage two different health concerns at the same time?
I’m just looking for a bit of connection and maybe some advice on how to stay calm when it all feels like too much.
