I don't know what to do, I feel so alone. My my as osophagus cancer and recently I found out it spread to her liver, as it is should be happy moment in my life I'm having my first baby but I feel like I can't enjoy my pregnancy with knowing this about my mum the most they can do is give her another round of chemo when needed but she isn't getting better. My brother is the pushy kind pushes everything out of her and my other brother is heavily disabled and don't understand where as I'm just trying to stay strong knowing this. They have said she has years ahead of her but it doesn't change the fact that she's gonna die. My nan died of cancer nearly 3 years ago, my aunt as just died of it and my cousin has it! I feel like I can't escape it and that it is everywhere I go!! None of my friends understand they've never been through it Wich I'm happy they haven't but I just want somebody round my age that understand!!
Hi and welcome to the community, so sorry to hear about your mum but pleased to hear about the baby. Cancer sucks sometimes and has a nasty habit of hitting us when we think things seem the most bleak. Know what you mean about friends too though where many find conversations around cancer it can be much more common than we think.
The staying strong all the time bit can be hard but come on here when you need support or for a quick fix ring the helpline. You might like to read some of our information too in I'm looking after someone with cancer
