I have just oined this in the hope to find someone with similar experiences to me. Last year I lost my grandparents to cancer and i was deeply affected, especially as I was very close to my grandmother, for the past year, my mam has also been battling cancer that started in the kidney and is now affecting her lungs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I often talk things out with my dad, and he is trying his best to prepare me but all i can think is, i&amp;#39;m going to lose my mam and often feel I am either being over sensitive or I myself am thinking the worst. My brother is moving out and rarely shows an interest in what is happening with my mam which really makes me angry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#39;t think i was affected as much but I have horrible nightmares and cannot eat properly and just cry a lot. I fear I am going to lose my boyfriend incase he doesn&amp;#39;t understand so I need someone on here I can offload to and ep the very thin bonds that I feel my family have left when it comes to discussion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thankyou &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=330100&amp;AppID=30616&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author></entry></feed>
