Hi, my Mum starts chemo treatment tomorrow for her lung cancer. Having gone through radiotherapy and pneumonia last September - November, she was doing really well, but follow up scans have shown that the cancer has now spread into her left lung and lymph glands. She's so far away in what must be such a frightening time for her - she's not always the most positive, and I am the one to gee her along normally (if thats even a phrase - Mum would say I shout!!). Luckily she has my Dad around with her, which is some comfort. And whilst I know I'm the bystander in this, its my Mum that's doing the fighting, my Mum with the pain, breathlessness and fears, selfishly I just want to stamp my feet, cry, get mad with the world, get in the car and hug her and tell her its all going to be OK.
So I thought I'd join the Macmillan Community, as they've been amazing helping me whilst I'm not able to physically be with Mum. Is there any particular group that would be the best to join? xx
