Learning that you have cancer is traumatic,

Feeling anxious,afraid and overwhelmed is dramatic.

Practice ways to relax ,exercise by going for a walk,

Share your feelings with friends and family ,it's good to talk.

 

What helped you through tough times in the past,

Can ease your worries now,which can be vast.

Set aside time to be alone,

Organise your thoughts ,improve your tone.

 

Talk to people who have been in your situation,

Ask them openly ways forward to cancer retaliation.

Survivours can share their experiences and ways of dealing,

It can be hard for people who haven't had it to know how you are feeling.

 

Knowing what to expect can help make things better,

Leave the big decisions to your specialist to avoid being a fretter.

At appointments bring family or a friend to quell the fear,

They can help you remember what you hear.

 

With friends and family share your emotions,

With love and compassion they'll apply their lotions.

Adjust your emotions to some things you will dread,

Prepare yourself for the road to recovery which lies ahead !!
