Sometimes you may feel very alone dealing with your cancer, even if you are surrounded by family and friends.
Many women find nighttime the hardest.
One woman suggested having music, a good book, comfort food or anything else that will help you feel safe when you wake up in the middle of the night. It may help to line up a few friends who don't mind if you call late at night. Within, so apart. It can be a real relief to talk with someone whose reactions you do not have worry about, someone who has been there and understands in a way that friends and family cannot. Sometimes you may want to be alone, on your own in a quiet place to sort through all of your feelings.
