Hi I am a full time cater for my mum. I feel so alone. She has recently had radiotherapy for anal cancer and they have now found a concer in her lung. She has totally given up. She’s lost so much weight and last night she wanted to take an overdose.
l have no help from anyone and I cannot cope.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you feel that your mum has given up and it must be very hard looking after her on your own.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the carers only group where you can discuss your worries and emotions with others who have a loved one living with cancer.
To join just click on the link I've created and then join and start a new post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about about your mum's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
