Nanna...

Oh you poor sweetheart

This is absolutely the right place to post your thoughts - and there are lots of people on here who will understand how you are feeling and, hopefully, offer support.

I am a patient - so am experiencing this horrible disease from the other side.

It must be horrible watching someone you love gradually fall apart in front of your eyes.  The only advice I can give you is to try and remember some happy memories when you are going to see her.  These are what she will want to remember - and maybe try to talk about them to her too.  The happy memories are what you will carry into the future.

Are you in contact with a Macmillan nurse?  They should be able to offer you all some support too.

Take care - and never be afraid to have a good cry, even in front of your son and husband - they are probably looking for ways to help you and offering a bit of comfort will make them feel better.  Don't worry about upsetting them - they will already know you are upset and will want to do something to help.

I hope that you can get through this terrible time - my best thoughts and wishes go with you.

Hi, this is the right place to be, lots of

members here are going thru the same

distress as yourself and will understand the feelings you have. Has your nans hospital not offered any form of help, your nans cancer involves all the family so you all need support as well as your nan.You could ask for incontinence pads,

which are very useful, and net knickers are helpful as well. It must be very hard for you to see your nan like this, and as much as you love and care for her it can be very draining. I think if your nan gets to the point where she might be so ill the

hospital will ask her loved ones if they would prefer she was in hospital or if you all want her to stay at home they will arrange for a cancer nurse to give her home care, so please dont think you will be left to deal with this sad situation without support. We are here for you anytime, and i hope you feel better knowing your not on your own.
