Mums diagnosis

So sorry to hear about your mum. I'm sure I'm not the only one but if I could I would give you big cuddles /hugs. I know that they don't help your mum but I'm sure they would help you.

I'm sure there are people out there who can help you.

You are in my thoughts. 

I am sorry to hear about your mum. The best thing is to trust the medical team as they will do their best to pull your mum through this challenge. I know it's a difficult time for you too as cancer don't just impact those who have it but their loved ones. Trust me when I say I saw my Dad go through this but I was very young then and didn't know how to help him. Medicine is so advanced now. The docs will do all they can for her. 

If you need to speak then ring the macmillan support helpline. In times like this, speaking will sure lighten your burden. Just be there for your Mum (or Dad). I know you prob feel a sense of helplessness but stroking her hair and hand, talking and reading to her, will tell her how much you love her and will motivate her to keep fighting this battle.

Please take good care of yourself too. Sending you and your mum positive healing vibes.

Thank you ️

Thank you so much I’m praying they get some kind of control over it. We are a close family and are all there for eachother I’m trying to be strong for my dad and 3 brothers it’s just at nights I can stop going over in my head the words of the oncologist

Mum went to her breast consultant the middle of August with a swollen breast and severe pain when walking and nausea and only now (Nov 4th) has she had her full diagnosis and was called in for urgent treatment..... I can’t help but think that was a very long time waiting for diagnosis 

I get you. Each time I read my diagnosis I get so upset, scared and cry so much.. You know what...it is what it is, diagnosis won't change. So you yourself need to change and turn things around for your mum. You must try not to dwell in the negativity. It doesn't help your or your mum or your family. I wish you strength in days to come. Best thing you can do for yourself is come up with a plan to make it less lonely for your mother...being there for her will mean so much. Don't dwell remember...write down  all the positives you can do and own it. Override the unhelpful thought!! Our minds are v powerful. Don't be engulfed in darkness.

Hi SJ7

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear about your Mum. There is a family and friends forum which you can join if you’d like to get support from others who have family or friends with cancer.

Wishing you and your Mum the best of luck as she goes through treatment.

Best wishes
