Hello

Less than one minute read time.

Hello,

My name is Yilmaz and I am a carer for my mum.  She has a history of a cancer: breast, bone, liver, but bravely fought through it.  This year, she started getting headaches.  A scan revealed that she had several brain mets.  After a course of radiotherapy, the medics decided that there was no more they could do for her. 

My mum's mobility is virtually non-existent.  She cannot walk or make many movements with her body.  She speaks with difficulty and struggles to speak coherently. 

I came on here to share my experiences with others, so that hopefully we can support each other.  I have spoken to some of you in the chatroom already, but I hope to speak to more of you in time. 

:)

    Hello Yil, It was lovely to meet you on chat last night and share with you.  I am so sorry about your mum and, as you know, we are in a very similar position regarding our mums.  

    This site is all about support and supporting others too, so you are in the right place :)

    Take care and if you ever need me, I am here.

    Good Morning Yilmaz,

    I am so sorry for your mum, it sounds like both you and her have both been very brave over the year. How awful it must now be for you both that things have now got worse for her. There will always be someone on here for you to talk to when things get tough who understand as i do exactly what you are going through.

    Please feel free to express what you are experiencing and feeling and give us a chance to support you.

    Much love to you and your mum and look forward to chatting with you more soon. xxxxxxxx

    Hi Yilmaz - just to echo what the other guys have already said - sorry for you and your mums position.

    Think its great you feel able to join us and although this is a hard time for you, you will meet some fantastic people on here who will help support you and in turn be supported by you when they are feeling low. Some of them will soon become long lasting friends.
