Yesterday my mum was diagnosed with oesophigus cancer, we are waiting for the biopsy results still so it’s very early days. I cannot sleep as I’m so worried about the outcome.
I know no one deserves cancer, but my mum is the most selfless and caring person ever, she did not deserve this at all. I am so angry and worried for her.
I had breast cancer 3 yrs ago and know what it can do to you, I wish I could take away the road that she has ahead, for her. I have spent all night tossing and turning, why why why ??? Sorry to off load I just don’t know what to do and where to turn. I need to be so strong for my Mum & Dad.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
