Hey im Jen and my mum has secondary breast cancer which has spread to her liver and is now in her bones I do find it really hard to talk to people as my friends have their own stuff going on and I just try
nd work extra which I know is stupid 
My mum has recently experienced severe back pain so we recently went to clatterbridge Liverpool where she's been prescribed morphine and she had an mri last night so we're hoping it's good news xx
Hi Tahtina80 and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your mum’s diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis in the family can be such a challenging and stressful time but I do hope you will find the Community a safe place to get support from family members who are navigating the same journey.
The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our general Family and friends and Carers only support groups where you will connect with others dealing with the same challenges while supporting family
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the (Bold) group links I have created above. Once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
The Macmillan Support Line is open from 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 where you can talk with someone about specific cancer and practical information, get emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just connect with a listening ear.
We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and aim to give support to all the family.
Please do get back to me if you need further help.

Hey im sooo sorry for my late reply I only just saw I had a message firstly im sorry that your partner is diagnosed and I hope the liver comes back clear 
also im sorry that your dealing with this on your own but please talk to your family and your partners family its all about support for you and each other
I completely isolated myself from everyone I thought I could deal with it I got so defensive when people tried to help me but inside I was and still am broken but I have to remember each day my mum
