I haven't got the blog naming yet so sorry for any deception. 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.

I often talk things out with my dad, and he is trying his best to prepare me but all i can think is, i'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.

I didn'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'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

Thankyou

So sorry to hear your story - but you've come to the right place as there are lots of people on here who will listen and reply with advice, comfort and support. You can say what you like, no-one will mind, In fact, I think many of us feel we can say things on here that we daren't talk about with our families. Does your Mum have a MacMillan nurse? you can speak to them and ask for information or advice, they help the family as well as the patient, so don't bottle it up. Your brother could be just blocking it all out, as we all cope in different ways. Feel free to read about me and add me as a friend, I'm sure I won't be the first. Sending you cyber hugs, love Val X

The anonymity (gawd knows if I spelt that right or not) on this site often helps us unload our deepest darkest fears. We can offload without burdoning our family or upsetting them etc.

We have the broadest shoulders and the biggest hearts......so offload as often as you need. You will not be judged but listened to.

Love & Strength

Can't say much more than anyone has already said really.

This is a great place to be. Loads of support and listening ears on offer.

Sorry you're having such a tough time of it.

Take care,
