Today my mum has been diagnosed with ovarian, womb and lymph node cancer. I’m scared, I feel sick, I don’t know what to do with myself, I’m worrying about whether it’s genetic, I’m angry. I just want to hide away and pretend it’s not happening.
Oh charm6, allow yourself to feel every emotion, allow yourself to grieve, your reactions are completely normal, it's okay to feel each of them- hurt, anger, lost, anxious whatever they may be.. we are here for you. Sending big hugs x
My mum was diagnosed yesterday with stomach cancer. I am feeling everything you have mentioned. Mostly though, I am feeling sad. Very very sad
I am very lucky to have a strong support network, but I know from my past MH struggles you don’t want to burden more on others who are going through the same.
I am thankful to have found this forum to speak without guilt of burden or judgement
Hi I am same my mu. has been told she has cancer in the womb . just waiting on surgery next week to see what he can get out and then more waiting for results and wotever treatment they suggest . Feel sick with worry crying most days and just feel like I am grieving though mum is still here .. don't know whether to be angry as to why has this happened or grateful that they can actually do something to treat this awful disease even if they can't cure it xx
I’m sorry to hear that, it’s good that they’ve gotten your mum in so soon. Fingers crossed they’ll get out all of it. My mum hadn’t heard anything about her operation date as of yet. I totally understand where you’re coming from my emotions have been all over the place. All we can do it wait and hope for some good news
