Mum’s been diagnosed, Breast, Lung and bone cancer. I’m/We are all devasted :-(
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
Xxxxxxxx
Thank you, we’ve known for 8 weeks but only this past week how bad. I’ve been off work for 2 months stress but have to go back next week :-(
No treatment plan cause we need a up to date ct scan
Thank you x
Fill in your profile with a bot of info...it saves re typing it all the time. You been off with stress because of your mums diagnosis? Xxx
Yes! Just getting the hand how it all works here
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
Xxxxxxx
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.
Xxxxx
Its hard for all x
Mum won’t be able to use this, she elderly and computers aren’t her thing x
