Hi, I just found this site. My Daughter was diagnosed with Advanced stage 4 cervical cancer in April this year. Since then both my Wife and I have been trying to deal with every emotion under the sun. I know we all go thru it. As the main earner in our family I have found it easier to get stuck into my business and try not to dwell on what might happen. I guess that is not the healthy choice. I now find myself going thru periods of numbness and I just don't want to feel anything. Then all of a sudden, at a completly unexpected time, it hits me. I was at the supermarket the other day and I bent down to see what was on the bottom shelf. All of a sudden it hit me and I couldn't get back up again. Do other go thru this? My Wife did nothing but cry for the first two months, she could not cope with life and was just a complete mess. But now she is ok. She goes over and stays with our daughter a few days a week, caring for her and her children. Her Husband cannot do much as he badly injured his back a few years ago. This is all helping my Wife to cope but I have no idea what to do for myself. Is this normal? Is it just me? I just don't know anymore. We have no definite prognosis for our Daughter. As well as mainstream treatments she is also undergoing alternative treatments by reputable people. This is all helping her tremendously. The doctors were shocked to see how improved her blood count was and how other things had improved. I guess we can just take a bit of hope from that. The worst thing is not knowing.
