A month ago my mum was diagnosed with cancer in her kidney. She made out to me like everything was going to be alright. They would just remove the kidney.
Then yesterday she dropped the bombshell that the cancer is too far developed and has reached into her lungs and there is not much more they can do for her. They're not sure how long she has to live.
Is there really nothing they can do? Can't they cut the cancer out and give her a transplant or something? There must be something they can do. No-one understands what I'm going through. I'm an only child and my friends said they cannot even imagine what I am going through. I even feel resentful towards them. Their mums are healthy and will most likely have their mums for 30 years or more. Why is mine being taken from me now?
I feel like killing myself. I'm 22 and even though I have 2 young children of my own, my mum helps me a lot with them and I cannot bear the thought of life without her - I don't want to. I can't face the fact that I'm going to watch her die and I'll never ever see her again. I just can't - I need my mum.
I've been diagnosed with post-ntal depression but wasn't given anti-depressents as I'm breastfeeding. Instead I was referred to see a counsellor which hasn't helped one bit and the fact I'm going to lose my mum has just made me feel my life isn't worth living at all.
I don't even know what kind of cancer to say my mum has. She has a tumour on her kidney but she said it has spread around her groin and up into her lungs. Surely the doctors can do more, I hear about people recovering from cancer all the time, so why isn't there much they can do for my mum?
