Hey all. I’m now on here, 

I moved back home to support my parents as dad lost his foot and half the other one. And my had breast cancer at that time too that was sorted and went well but my was also diagnosed with stomach cancer 8 months ago now and told yesterday she has ovarian cancer too.

my brother visit and see them but there not here full time like I am as well as working full time night shifts. I am a mummy’s boy I’ll say that but am starting to get very angry and not myself to the world feeling it with friends and family and even work colleagues have seen the difference in me. 

I have copd and heart failure myself and think stop my meds let it take me like that’s taking mum and I know I shouldn’t be feeling like that but I do.
