Question

So sad with cancer and side effects of surgery which is swelling to the hands. Can't really get on with my life. Over thinking about it everyday. Wishing life could be back to normal as it was before. Depressed most of the time. Nobody to talk to and feeling lonely.

Answer

Disregard the feeling that you have. Trust in Allah Ta`ala.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
