My mother has bladder cancer and I’m really struggling to cope. It is now terminal and we don’t have any support. The strain is showing on us all now and even causing rows amongst the family at a time we need to be supportive. The only one seemingly on the surface to be handling this well is mom.
So so hard watching her fade away in front of us....
Hello Annmj and welcome to the community at this difficult time. Sorry to hear of your mother's diagnosis and that it is causing a rift in the family when this should be a time for families to come together. There should be support to help and you may find it helpful to phone the free helpline on 0808 808 0000 (open till 8pm daily). You will find them very friendly and will be able to let you know what help, practical and financial, your mother should be entitled to. There is also another group here you may like to look at Supporting someone with incurable cancer . There you will find others looking after loved ones. My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.
