A familiar road again…

So - cancer is affecting our family once again. I lost my Dad some years ago now and supported my Mum through cancer treatment and surgery during lockdown. My Mum is now poorly once again and we are waiting once again for results and a plan for next steps. Whilst none of this is easy, I am trying to go into this with a different approach - taking just one day at a time and taking time out to make sure that I at least eat and sleep, and try to balance all the other things of everyday life. I know I have no choice but I really don’t know if I am ready to do all of this again.

  • Hi Orange lily welcome to the forum..I don't know that any of us are ever ready when this horrible disease enters our lives completely uninvited. It does sound though that you are more aware of keeping yourself well and that's important. Don't be too hard on yourself, sometimes all we can do is put one foot in front of the other and move forward ..We are here as and when you need us to be so keep posting. Sending some hugs for now..x
