Feeling angry?

Hi there. Firstly I want to say I'm so sorry to hear about your mum's diagnosis. I also relate to how you feel. I think it is normal. I lost my dad two weeks ago to cancer and he was only 59. Currently I feel really bitter if anyone mentions to me anything about family or friends who are sick and over the age of 70. I hate feeling like this. I'm always a sympathetic person but all I feel is rage xx

Hey,

I am so sorry to hear about both of your parents and what you are going through. 

I’m 24 and going through exactly the same thing with my mum who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September. I can’t tell you how much I relate to the above, I am so angry and resentful and hate so much that she is having to go through this. As much as I am surrounded by amazing friends, no one understands it at all, at our age this just doesn’t happen. I am so angry that everyone continues to live their life as normal whilst I am going through the hardest experience of my life.

People are trying to relate to the situation with stories of their neighbour or grandparent and I just want to scream because they have no idea what it is like when it is your parent. 

I am usually the supportive friend who people go to when they need advice but all I see now is petty problems and feel like I am losing the understanding characteristic that makes me me. 

Please feel free to reach out if you need a chat, it’s so important to know you’re not alone x

Hi, I'm so sorry for your terrible news, it's the most devastating news, I feel the same, yesterday we were told mum has cancer in her rib and it's not curable, she had cancer two years ago and had treatment and was cancer free.

Now this news, I'm so angry and upset, we don't how long we have with her but I'm hoping we can have some kind of treatment to prolong her life, I feel numb and lost. We are going to take one day at a time and try and come to terms with horrible disease.

Just coming on here will help and talking about how you feel , we are all here to help xx

Thank you for replying, I'm so glad of this forum because we are all going through the same thing, it's so horrible, hopefully we will get a hospital appointment and discuss what we can do, the through of losing her is heartbreaking but I need to be strong for her and my brother who has leaning disabilities.

I'm here anytime to chat or vent, thinking of you and your mum ️ 

Hey. I am so glad I found this forum and your message. This is exactly how I feel. I am 28 and my dad has stage 4 advanced prostate cancer. I'm really struggling with a range of conflicting emotions, including anger. Anger at the world and the feeling of unjustness and that time has been taken away. Please know you aren't alone xxx
