Well back on this bumpy road again didn’t expect this so soon after loosing my dad 8th Jan 2021 .. (6weeks 5 days from diagnosis  metastatic bladder cancer .).. well today 25/0521 .. mum had face to face .. She as got  cancer of the oesophagus level 4 only treatment is best of care ..same as I got told with dad 

 I fully nursed my dad at home  his wishes and looks like I’m on this horrible ride again :( 

I’m scared I’m not strong enough to do this so soon again  even though I know I will .. 

Any advice is welcome ..

    Hi there,

    so sorry to read what your dealing with and I feel your pain. 

    we cared for my dad in may last year due to the pandemic, he passed on the 19th may. 
    then in December my granda was told he had liver cancer, we cared for him at home also due to the pandemic snd he passed on the 1st January. 
    In February my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer and it has spread to the glands and nodes. She’s currently in hospital getting a feeding tube put in and getting some radiotherapy to try snd shrink what’s stopping her from swallowing. 
    Some days I’m coping and other days I can hardly function. 

    My only comfort is that they will be together again soon. 

    I hope you are ok xxx

    I fully understand how you are feeling .. my comfort with my  Dad was that he will be with my son who I lost when he was 20 ( not cancer ) felt nice to know his grandad would be there with him so he not alone .. just didn’t expect mum to go down same  path just yet  .. im  same as you fully nursed dad at home will I doing same with my mum  hospice involved etc but as dad won’t be in till last days it’s so hard to try to be so strong sone days .. I hope you are ok x
