Hi all, Just found out my mum has colorectal cancer, still waiting on the results regarding stage etc, had biopsy, CT scan and Pet... all should be revealed on the 3rd... Horrible waiting game. Also they have found a shadow on her lung, so that is being investigated. In the last 9 years, I have had to deal with cancer now for the fourth time... I want to scream give me a break... my partner had cancer and though in remission has been left with the devastating effects of chemo... post chemo chronic fatigue syndrome, her father had lung and bone cancer, literally she got the all clear and within moments he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. My father had Prostate cancer, but died from dementia related health and now my mother... feeling really done in... and scared to once again be a carer... as I don't feel I have had any recharge time. this may appear selfish as I am talking about my needs as a carer but I feel exhausted...
Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm really sorry to hear that cancer keeps rearing it's ugly head in your life and it's no wonder that you're feeling exhausted with it all.
Could I suggest that you join the carers group which is a safe and supportive place to share your worries and get support from others who will understand what a difficult time you're going through.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself to the group by selecting 'start a discussion' and respond to existing posts by selecting 'reply'.
Sending a supportive (((hug)))
