Hi all,
firstly I want to say I’m sorry for all of you on this group that are experiencing the agonising pain of losing a loved one.
I joined this group because I lost my Dad to bladder cancer in January 2017 after a two year battle. Two days after his funeral my 35 year old brother was admitted to hospital with suspected appendicitis, they went to operate and found he had cancer pretty much everywhere in his abdomen. It turned out to be melanoma and he passed away in May 2017, his first baby was only 6 months old.
Ok so that story is horrific enough....
Now my mum was admitted to hospital last week with pneumonia, they did a chest X-ray and kept her in. They decided to do a CT scan and found she has lung cancer that has spread to her liver, bone and lymph nodes around the lung.
My world has fallen apart. How can life be so cruel. I don’t know how I can get through it all again, I don’t feel I dealt with my Dad and brother passing and now my mum is already on the downward slope. I have no positivity left in me.

Hi Kristina 20
I have just read your post, life has been so cruel to you and your family.
I just wanted to send you a big virtual hug.
My sister in law died 4 years ago this September from pancreatic cancer, she was like a sister and mother to me. I miss her every day.
I’m sure you will be a wonderful Auntie to your brother’s baby.
