Hi My Mum has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer ( in liver and other places). Emotions are all over the place as she has COVID now, so is yet to start on her new treatment. She has been asked where does she want to die, which has 'thrown' me as I didn't think we were there yet - am I in denial? Mum doesn't want to talk about it
Hi Miss L of V 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 your mum has recently been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer and I know what a difficult time this will be for the whole family.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups and I can see that you've already joined a couple of the cancer specific groups.
Another group for you to consider is the carers only group, if you're your mum's carer, or the family and friends and group, if you're not her carer. Whichever group you feel is the right one for you, you'll find is a safe and supportive place to share your worries and emotions with others who are looking after someone living with cancer.
To join just click on the relevant link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something 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.
