  1. Hi I'm new here and I don't really know where to start. My mum has womb cancer and a couple of months ago I took her to the drs and we were told the cancer had come back, so in that 2 months she has lost so much weight and has now lost her appetite so is only taking maybe 1or2 biscuits in the am to take her meds, she has started taking her morphine for the last week or two and has become so sleepy. I care for my mum and help with her personal care and do her shopping and cleaning as well, my sisters help where they can but she has become very reliant on me, not that it bothers me because I know I won't have her for much longer. Sorry I just needed to get it out of my head, having a very tearful day today
  • 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 very sorry to read that your mum has recently discovered that her womb cancer has recurred and I know how much a cancer diagnosis can affect the whole family.

    The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the womb cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who have this cancer, and also the carers only group where you can discuss your worries and emotions and get support.

    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'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your mum's diagnosis and treatment to date 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.
