Im looking for some advice on how people cope with this type of thing, in the space of 2/3 years my mum has had pancreatic cancer and was cured she now has metastatic liver cancer and is having chemo again, my dad has metastatic lung cancer which has spread to the brain and is having treatment to prolong his life as it is incurable, and back in October I lost my aunt ( more like a grandma ) to metastatic lung cancer which also spread to the brain. Any advice is appreciated
Hi Blueeyes96 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 how much you and your family have been through over the last few days.
The online community is divided into different support forums so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer forum, as you'll then connect directly with other carers, friends and families of people with an incurable diagnosis to discuss your emotions and give and receive support, and also the bereaved family and friends forum where you can again talk to others who will know how you feel.
To join, just click on the links 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'.
If you have any problems negotiating the community just reply to me and I'll be pleased to help.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
