Shock

Hi Sara8 

Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.

Sorry to hear about your mum, I think shock hardly covers what you have been through. I often wish it was as easy to do "stay strong" as it is to type it but something I find helpful is looking at your feelings when someone has cancer as being able to recognize those emotions and accept them as normal and valid helps me feel less overwhelmed.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m in a very similar position and just joined the community. It is heartbreaking and I’m trying to be strong for my mum and family but I can’t stop crying. She was diagnosed last week and has been told it is stage 4b and she is not strong enough for chemo, which would only extend her life by a few months if that anyway. We are also looking at weeks. 

We are in the same boat, palliative care want to get her home

So sorry. It’s absolutely awful. I keep going between crying and feeling ok. My mum is getting very tired but managed to eat for the first time all week yesterday. I felt hopeful but then it hits me that she isn’t getting better. Sending you strength.
