My sister has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. it is on one side and has spread to the lymph node but all in all for a crappy diagnosis it isnt too bad she is strong and positive and will get through it. problem i have is now this has happened i dont want my hubby to touch me!! why?? i have no idea but i just dont like it and makes me feel all icky. am going to the doctor to get checked out and hopefully that will make me feel a bit better. why would i be feeling like this i dont understand. its not me with cancer.

My sister in law was diagnosed last year and have accompanied her on some trips for her medical visits etc and she and we are all being positive and supportive . Probably you are just feeling anxious and fearful which is normal feeling . Maybe talk to a good doctor and counsellor for relief .

Sorry to hear this news about your sister; wishing her well with her treatment. Cancer impacts on everyone in a family and the shock and the feelings are real. I would suggest you seek some counselling to discuss your feelings and also a visit to your GP to address your own concerns. Also; joining a support group with your sister may be a good idea too.

I think it’s probably just shock and trauma… But if you feel the same in a few weeks, you should probably talk to a professional.

I’m sorry to hear your sister has cancer. Sounds like you will be a great support for her.
Is it possible that her diagnosis has made you feel like you shouldn’t enjoy yourself?
Good idea to get checked by the doctor
