Hi. My mum had a been diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage it was removed and now she is on the tamoxifen treatment. Yes she has quite a few side effects and it doesn't help that the radiotherapy or maybe even tamoxifen itself flare up her psoriatic arthritis. She is in pain and on a hormonal treatment. Also she is with a constant dear of cancer coming back.
I can't even imagine what she is going through and hope will never have to. I. Trying to be supportive and understanding but just cannot seem to be able to even communicate with her. I am the only child so I cannot distance myself and I don't really want to. She is blaming me for her cancer and may be that's part of why out every conversation ends up in tears. I don't know what to do or what I am doing wrong and not sure where to look for help. I looked maybe I could ask questions from specialist who work with cancer survivors at hospices it charity groups but mostly found sessions for people who currently has a cancer. Or supporting someone with cancer. I wonder if there are places that I could just ask questions or should I be looking for private councilor?....may be someone can recommend?
