I've just found out that my mum has a maximum of 2 years left if the chemo works and 6-12 months if it doesn’t. The dr said he can’t promise she has that long because it could be less…. I’m struggling to process this and I live 300 miles away
Hi Griefsurvivor and welcome to the forum..I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling and living so far away. Are you able to tell us a bit more about the type of Cancer mum has as the site is divided up into Cancer types and someone on one of these may be able to offer much needed support and information for you. Are you able to chat to your Mum about all this? She may, or may not welcome the opportunity to talk more about this. If you felt that you wanted to speak to someone in person then the folks at the Macmillan Line are great listeners. 08088080000.
Hi, thank you for replying ️
My mum has lung cancer on top of copd and emphysema bless her.
I do talk to my mum about it but not a lot because it upsets her.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
