    Oh , I'm so sorry! 

    I take it the diagnosis is relatively new? We're all here to listen and help if we can. The AWAKE  thread is useful during the night when we cant sleep and theres also groups for family members of people with cancer. 

    Does your mum have a treatment plan yet? 

    Sending you loads of love and hugs

    No treatment plan cause we need a up to date ct scan

    Yep, I'm still finding my feet too! 

    You dont want to back to work yet? What does your doc say? Going back may be the distraction you need but only you can make that decision lovely with your doc.

    Plus...That's what were here for...to talk and support each other

    Long story but, emotionally not ready but finally got to go back. 

    Thank you, I know it’s a awful situation for you and others who are ill but it’s good to have someone to talk too about it. Cause others don’t get it

    No, others dont get it...its not their fault, they try to but it's just not the same. I bet your mum is also feeling the same too. Have you told her about this forum? 

    It's an awful situation for all of us my lovely. I know my family struggle because they cant 'fix' it for me and have to watch me go through stuff. I guess that's how you feel? I havent even told my son. Hes 15 and wouldn't deal with it well at all.

    Its hard for all x

    Mum won’t be able to use this, she elderly and computers aren’t her thing x

  • Hiya ,

    Can I assume breast was primary and  the rest was secondary? Just wanted to say to you that many women survive with secondary beast cancer, so please don't lose hope. Even with secondaries, she may live for many years.

    Cwtches,

    Gay xxxx

    Yes that’s correct, bone cancer is in her shoulder and arm, mum has age against her I think :-(
