My close friend was diagnosed with liver cancer in February, this is inoperable, and she has recently found out her chemotherapy hasn’t shrunk the tumour, although it has stopped it spreading, her consultant has suggested putting her on palliative care. She had only had 1 round of chemo!!!
unfortunately she lives 4 hours away from me, so I am unable to offer much support. She’s only 47 and it all feels so hopeless now. I feel very guilty for feeling so low and anxious, when I should be being strong for her. But I feel so upset constantly. I can’t believe the consultant wants to give up on her already!!
Hi Kaz76 and I am so sorry to hear about your close friend and that you are living 4hrs away from you.
I have an incurable cancer so I am on the other side of the journey but you may find it helpful to join and post in our……
and
Supporting someone with incurable cancer
……. support groups where you will connect with a wide range of members navigating the same practical and emotional challenges of supporting your friend and indeed yourself yourself ((hugs))
I am fine and getting on with living life to the full…… I have been supporting folks on the Community for over 7 years and I have to say that I have talked with many many people in worse situations than my one….. everyone deals with the rubbish journey in their own way…… my way is not to let my cancer define me…… I define how I live
