Hi all

First of all my heartfelt condolences to anyone on here as I'm guessing you're all going through this horrible nightmare in some way at whatever stage.

We found out a few months ago that my mum was misdiagnosed and was told she didn't have cancer, when actually she did. Despite begging for further investigation she was turned away from her GP over and over again. By the time she sought out a second opinion privately it was already too late and she was told she has stage 4 cancer and any chance of chemo would take away any quality of life she has in the precious 2 months she's supposed to have. She is now in a hospice and the painkillers she is on means she is very confused and I know she is slipping away from us. This is the cruelest, nastiest disease and I feel like the GP has robbed her of any chance she could have had for treatment. 

I'm supposed to tell my 6 and 8 year old the truth about what is happening to their Nanna this weekend as we feel it won't be long until she is finally taken from us. I'm just so scared, so lost and so angry.

    Hi there I'm so sorry to hear that we are going through the same thing with my grandma and it's awful to watch. I can totally understand how angry you must feel with your mum  having been misdiagnosed, scared at how you will cope and lost in what to do for the best I also have a young daughter who I have had to break the news to and nothing prepares you for that I'm really thinking of you and if you ever need to talk I'm here
