lost my 39yr daughter, now its got me too

Less than one minute read time.

my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in may 2023, she lost her fight in august 2023, last week i was diagnosed with grade 3 tumours in both my breast and on my scalp. Today im having a ct to find the original tumour, how do i cope with this. Im still in mourning, my youngest daughter is a wreck, she even asked me, if she needs to just sit and wait for her diagnosis. There are no links within the family to anyone else having cancer, to say im scared is a understatement.All my life ive struggled and now just as life was supposed to be getting easier, this comes up and bites my butt, they think at moment mine is in my bowels, todays scan should hopefully tell them then i should be told treatment ect, but other than ct scan i have no appointments booked right now, im hoping to kep a blog, but we will need to see, my previous blog was of Amys battle

  • I’m so sorry to read your pain and to have to go through your own troubles as well. Cancer is cruel and thoughtless. I hope you have news that everything is better than you think. It’s hard to always say “i hope it’s all good” as none of us would be here. Stay safe and strong and if you need to bend an ear just message. There is also numbers to call here for support

  • tuesday i noticed a further growth starting, its on the side of my head, my gp called and basically said i have colon cancer, i get the definitive diagnosis this thursday or friday, to say im dreading it is a under statement, but thats because im feeling pessimistive,  i know the outlook isnt good, im already discussing my death with my youngest, but thats because she needs to be prepared, at least this way if the news is better, she and i will both feel so much better

  • so today i got the results of my CT scan, its been determined i have lung cancer, i will find out after the lung specialists devise a care plan on Wednesday what is going to happen, as i have other tumours as well im being refered to another team too, i wish it was better news, but in a way im more at peace now i know, it was the unknown that was scaring me

  • Now at wk 6, im still not receivig treatment as they have now decided i have cancer of unknown origin.(CUPS) When will they start trying to help me? im feeling ignored, lost, alone, very scared,  How much longer do i need to be kept without treatment? surely they could be doing tests to attempt to find origin
