Where to start, my mum told us on New Year’s Day that she has been diagnosed with womb cancer… she battled breast cancer last year and after a mastectomy and treatment she was doing well and has now been diagnosed with womb cancer that the specialist says is unrelated to the breast cancer, I am struggling to process this new diagnosis and feel I’ve hit the limit of what I can handle, I’m usually a very strong emotionally balanced person but this is proving difficult. I have questions to ask my mum but don’t want to as I don’t want to add to her worry. She seems to be coping well however I know some of that will be a front for us and she will be petrified at the road she is about to go down. She has an mri scan next week and I don’t know what this is for but don’t want to ask, she has been told that she will need a full hysterectomy as a start. How do I process this in a way that allows me to function at work I have a stressful job and manage a team within our family business so taking time off isn’t an option,and also at home as a wife and mum, my emotions are raging from numbness anger and sadness, it’s a whirlwind, I’m not so what I’m reaching out for but I’m hoping it can help me process I guess, I struggle with talking about my feelings as I’m the strong one at home. My mum is only 56 and I’m scared for her and our family.
