My mum has terminal lung cancer that has now spread to her brain. She has lost her hair now and looks so thin and grey.
I can't stop crying and becoming very depressed. I'm not sleeping well either
Every day is such an effort to get out of bed, I just want to hide myself away
I get daily panic attacks,.feel nause, struggling to concentrate
The pain is unbearable
Nothing stops the tears or the feeling of depression
Hi Mumtothree and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and I saw your post about how you're feeling since learning that your mum has terminal lung cancer.
As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group, where you can discuss your emotions about the prospect of losing your mum, as well as practical issues about palliative care and end of life.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your mum's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
