Recently diagnosed HFA at age 41.had stage 4 cancer for nearly 2 years and always found the uncertainty of the diagnosis (not been given a time frame) the absolute worst part of it, worse than the thought of dying itself, with this HFA diagnosis I guess I know why.
It's actually driving me insane, I can't cope with not knowing, scans every 3 months and the wait times, it's all too much, can hardly deal with a change of daily plans, this waiting around to know when I'll next need treatment or going to die is unbearable. I depressed and having meltdowns more than ever, i wish the cancer would do its job a lot of the time. This isn't an intervention or cry for help, just stating facts.
If anyone has any experience with this please can you give me advice, thank you.
