Hi all. I just wanted to join to be able to talk to people who understand what our family is currently facing. My amazing mother in law has been diagnosed with secondary lung cancer. This is a recent and completely unexpected diagnosis and I'm trying to support everyone as best as I can. I love her too and I know not many people get to say that about their in laws!
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that your mother-in-law has been diagnosed with secondary lung cancer. That must have been devastating news for you all.
I understand why you would want to try and support everyone but you must look after yourself too. Take a look at this information from Macmillan as it will help you to understand what your mother-in-law may be facing.
You may also like to join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group where you can discuss your worries as well as practical issues. To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
