Struggling to cope

Dear Sandlen, I am so sorry to read of your daughters situation. I feel for you as a mother. I am on this journey with my husband, diagnosed 2 Years ago, incurable from diagnosis. It must be unbearable for you to be on it with your child. As for not knowing what to say just tell her that. As for been emotional, of course you are, she's your daughter. I don't know what else to put but just letting you know I feel for you as a mother, life can be so unfair sometimes.

So sorry to read your post.

Don't know if this helps. My mum was diagnosed in 2016 with terminal cancer. 3 years on she is still doing amazingly, no changes or growth.

It's only been a few days since you have found out, so expect to feel overwhelmed, it's natural we are only human. But know that cancer can never take away our hope and strength. People can beat the odds. Treatments are changing all the time.

I think it's so important to take the time process whats happened, and if you feel you need to, speak to her. Yes it can be hard but you'll feel better after.

What your feeling is normal, there is no such thing as over emotional you feel how you feel. 

Feel free to reach out to me via message if you need to talk. 

Hopes with you and your daughter.
