Hi all new this the forum.
My mum was diagnosed with what we this is metistatic Breast cancer which has spread. This is her second time have cancer. We are waiting for her oncology appointment which is this Thursday to find the ins and outs.
I am driving myself crazy catarphozing about the situation. I am one of 4 and the oldest. Although we are all grown up we are very much a tight knit family. I have a brother with Down Syndrome who doesn’t understand what is happening. Three of us still live at home.
My head is all over the place.
Hi Musicalsmad
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
My experience with cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma so something different to your mum but I recognize a lot of my early experience in what you say. It is very easy to get in to the catastropic mindset and if we look at your feelings when someone has cancer I know I recognize a lot of the emotions I went through. I find it helpful though to be able to recognize these and accept them as normal as I find that can help to make them less overwhelming.
Do post on here whenever as someone is always listening and somehow we manage to help each other.
<<hugs>>
Steve
