Hello all,
First post!!
My Mom was diagnosed with Cancer of the lining of the Womb yesterday. She is extremely calm at the moment and keeps saying it’s just a normal day. She went to get her hair done as normal and then spent the afternoon in the garden she loves gardening. She is due for an MRI on Tuesday to see if it’s just isolated to one area, and whether she will need Surgery and Treatment or Treatment.
She has an amazing network of support and she has a strong faith. We lost my Nan In October last year and she has coped incredibly well. We are all being strong and positive in front of her, but now I can’t stop crying and I’m so scared of losing my Mum. She is only 71. I don’t want to feel sad and scared and I want to be brave for her. But when I’m at home it’s a different story.

On my long journey I found the best way to navigate the various challenges that a cancer diagnosis brings was by talking with people who are on the same journey.
