I've recently found out there is nothing more than they do for my mom and noone is giving me a time frame. She's not really that old either. Seeing her deteriote is so hard and I don't know how I'm going to cope when she goes. There's so many things we wanted to do and because of covid never got too. I know there will be people worse off than us and have experienced worse and I feel so guilty for having the feelings I do. I also need to tell my children. I just needed to write some of this down so sorry if it doesn't make sense.
Hi and welcome to the Macmillan Online Community but sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your mom’s diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis like this in the family can be challenging in so many ways but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey can help you navigate this difficult time.
The Community is organised into support groups and when it comes to the practical challenges of supporting someone you may benefit from talking with others caring for family and friends so do check out our Carers only and supporting someone with incurable cancer group groups as you will connect with others supporting family and friends through their cancer journey.
To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service can give lots of information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear. We also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
((hugs))
