Hi there,

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, a terminal cancer diagnosis is really difficult to comprehend and especially in uncertain times with coronavirus. My mum was too diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer a couple of weeks ago, she has a brain tumour called glioblastoma, it came as a massive shock as the symptoms of the brain tumour we put down to being her epilepsy playing up. 

I too am interested in anything my mum would be entitled too to mean she can live her best life. Coronavirus scares the life out of me when it comes to her diagnosis, she is soon starting chemo for 6 months and things feel so uncertain, will she have to shield the whole time? 6 months now could be a big chunk of her life... 

I’m sorry that I can’t offer you and advice, but something I would like is being able to talk with people going through the same thing as me. It feels quite isolating when a parent is diagnosed with a terminal cancer, I almost feel like no one understands what I’m going through as none of my friends have experienced something like this. So finding support elsewhere is good and that’s why I’m here I suppose! 

Hi Lorzie and D1998

I notice that these posts were written 3 months ago, so I wanted to check in with you both .... I know everyone reacts different to treatment and I hope your Mum's are keeping strong
