Hi there,
I don't really know where to start and reading through some of the posts, I have no idea if this is the right support group..
My mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian cancer about a month ago. Whilst some treatment is being given, it is incurable and the treatment is a measure taken to hopefully give us a little more time together. If I am honest I have been struggling to get my head around it all. I sometimes feel guilty for the way I feel as I fell like I am grieving a loss that hasn't yet happened. The thought of being without her scares me greatly, in fact its unimaginable but I know I need to prepare for it.
To complicate matters there is a possibility that the cancer might be hereditary, which also fills me with fear and lots of questions.
For now I am attempting to take each day as it comes but if anyone has any other advice, I would welcome it with open arms.

Hi Clarey86 so sorry to hear about your mum, that's a really difficult situation for you both. It takes time to process this type of diagnosis and there is no right or wrong way to feel or react. Being there for your mum, and also taking care of yourself, are probably the most important things for you to focus on right now. You might also reach out to the lovely team at Macmillan for some support, I have popped the link below for you. Best wishes
