I'm struggling dealing with my 3rd cancer diagnosis. I was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in my left bust in 2019, at which stage life kind went on hold, in August last year I was told it had spread to my brain I had a crainiotomy in September and steriotactical radiotherapy which finishe in December I just started to find some normal and have just found out its back again in my brain in two places I was fine going through the motions treatment etc
Mums health is not great she has COPD and is a smoker who I believe smokes to much, I'm trying to extend my life with treatment but to me at the moment it just seems that is just to watch my mum smoke her self into a earlier grave.... I want to just say I don't want to keep having treatment when I have been told my cancer is likely to keep coming back and is likely to spread due to how aggressive it has been and is acting at the moment. I feel so fed up, tired and really sad about the who thing btw I'm 46 now and have other than my cancer a truly blessed life
Hi YKMBCancer
Sorry to hear about what you have been going through and also about your concerns re your mum. My mum also smoked but lived to mid 80's - they only found she had cancer after her death but if was not what killed her in the end.
What we tend to say on here is get the best information you can, make the best decision you can and then go with no regrets. It does sound you have done well up to now and perhaps that is the best anyone could hope for.
<<hugs>>
