Been told my mum might only have a few months left it has been just me and always and I feel so alone and scared
Hi Bubbles2000
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
Sorry to hear about your mum, what sort of cancer does she have and is she having any treatment?
When my wife was diagnosed she never wanted to know how long and I really struggled with that at the time. We had some struggles with treatment but rather to the surprise of her consultant they have managed to render her cancer stable and we have been now living with cancer for some time.
Do post on here whenever as someone is always listening and it can be amazing how sharing can help us all. That feeling of lonliness is very common
<<hugs>>

She has secondary metastatic breast cancer it is in her bones but she has been in hospital with high calcium and her kidney hasn't been doing well when she was diagnosed she had radiation and then oral targeted therapy and then she was moved on to IV chemo but due to the complications with the calcium and kidney function the consultant isn't giving her chemo when we asked about it today she said it maybe but a couple months at most I just didn't expect that it's such a horrible disease I'm so angry at the world
