My mam was diagnosed with terminal cancer 3 years ago. It’s progressed consistently however recently she had an infection in her knee which resulted in a hospital visit and loss of mobility. She was home for 4 weeks and doing so well learning to walk again but started to get confused and so tired. A GP visit resulted in a trip to hospital where she is now losing slot of blood from her bladder. The cancer is restricting her kidney function and I’m not sure what can be done, or if they drain her kidneys how much time it gives her.
we knew this would come but it just happened overnight I’m not coping well, can’t stop crying at all.
I don’t mind crying at home but out and about I need to get things rearranged and sorted, I can’t even hold a conversation at the moment.
its like I’ve gone straight to grieving and my poor mum is still being treated, but I know it’s a reality now.
I understand this. Right now I'm the same myself. I literally feel like the grieving has begun - and my Mum is refusing to have any treatment, further tests or help.
However I also went through these feelings when my Dad had cancer 18 years ago. You are coping - even if you think you're not. Your feelings and reactions are totally normal.
Please don't feel like you're alone - because you're not.
