Hi is there anyone who can help me a bit or been in this situation? I’m not sure what i am hoping for from joining the forum I just feel very lost. My mum was diagnosed yesterday with incurable cancer of the stomach which has spread to her lungs and also possible liver. She’s gone downhill very quickly. She’s on morphine now for the pain and it’s helping a bit. If she can get stronger, she has lost a lot of weight she can have chemo to help. They haven’t given us a timescale and I know I shouldn’t google but I have and I’ve scared myself into it not being very long. I can’t cope with all this. I have great friends around me and a loving partner, but as I’m an only child I feel so alone in my head. I’m so close to my mum and I know I’ve been lucky as I have spent so much time with her, I live next door but one to her. She’s my best friend and my rock. I can’t imagine how my life will continue without her. I thought I’d give her a grandchild and we’d still have many happy years ahead and now it’s all been snatched away and I’m so angry and hurt. I don’t know how to stop the bad thoughts about it all and the doom and gloom. I’m holding it together around mum and being so strong it’s when I get home I just cry and cry.
