My lovely Mums been fighting breast cancer for nearly 3 years, but she’s losing her fight now.

She’s been in and out of hospital with infections over the last few months, and has recovered, but she’s in again and this time her poor bodies had enough.

I’ve been lying in bed last night crying my eyes out for her, but also for me, and us as a family as I can’t bear to imagine a life without her. She’s always been there. She’s been our guide, our North Star, it feels like everything I’ve ever done was to make my Mum proud. Although I’m 47, I’m really just her little boy She’s the only one who really knows me and always asks how I truly am and who I feel I can really tell. I’m so scared of this life without her.

I guess I’m just crying a lot at the moment, hoping she will pull through again, but I need to face reality that I’m losing my Mum.

  • Hi and welcome to the online community although I'm sorry that you've had to find us.

    It must be a very distressing time for you knowing that your mum is so poorly. I hope you don't mind me popping in to say that you might find joining the family and friends group helpful as you can then get support from other people who understand how hard it is when someone you're close to is having to deal with cancer. Clicking on the link I've created will take you there. 

    You might also like to take a look through this article that Macmillan have produced on your emotions when someone close to you has cancer.

    Bless you and your Mum, it’s so very hard. As you say, your Mum is often a family’s North Star and it is incomprehensible to imagine a world without them. Try your hardest to take each day or hour at a time, as things can change. Be guided by your Mum and your gut instincts as they are rarely wrong. Just love her as best you can, and in time you won’t regret doing what you could for your Mum. Talk to us and whoever can help - it’s important you don’t suffer alone and don’t try to be superhuman. Wishing you lots of strength for the days ahead x
