Hi, im new here and im not really sure where to start…
on the 22nd february my nan aged 60 got diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer, she was given 3-5 months, and todag we found out she has secondary brain cancer meaning it has spread. Unfortunately they werent able to even offer treatment due to the severity of it. Because she still looks and acts like her normal self with just a bit of pain and fatigue, im not quite sure how to feel as i knew it would get worse but she theres no visible change within her.
im not quite sure how to deal with my emotions because i already struggle with mental health. im just so sad and angry and all we can do is wait till she passes.
Hi Tynitinytyna 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 sorry to read that your nan has been diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to her brain and I know what a difficult time this will be for you right now.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group which is for carers, friends and families of people who have an untreatable diagnosis so that you can discuss your emotions and receive support.
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'.
(((hugs)))
