Accepting and dealing with the news....

Hi Freya, So sorry to hear about your mum. My father also has been diagnosed with lung cancer and has started his treatment this week. Please do not give up hope. There are lots of new cancer treatments now. In the meantime, make sure your mum stays strong and with a healthy immune system to cope with all the drugs. I have stopped my father from taking any sugar and give him plenty of fresh vegetables, nuts, grains and some fruit. It is also important to top up on vitamin C and D3. Keep us posted about your mum's situation and how she is getting on with her treatment. Best wishes.

Hi Freya, so sorry to hear about your mum. We've just found out this week my mum has advanced lung cancer which has spread to her liver. We are devastated, my heart is completely shattered. My mum is hopefully starting radiotherapy on Monday, just praying it will help her. I can't process it either. My mum is only 58. She's been kept in hospital and as we can't visit her it's so hard to deal with. Hope yous get good news. X

Hi Siraj, thank you for your reply and good advice. I'm sorry to hear about your dad and I hope his treatment goes well. I'm feeling more hopeful and less lost and this site has been helpful. Thanks again. Take good carex

Hi As_x thanks you for taking the time to reply, my heart goes out to you and your family. Its sounds very tough. I hope the treatment helps.. Sending you all hugs x

Hi Megan, really sorry to hear about your mum. Im 29, my mum was kept in hospital last week as her oxygen levels were low, she eventually got out on Tuesday so I've been kept busy looking after her. Really struggled when she was in as we couldn't visit. They haven't told us a stage or anything, but my mums has spread. I still can't take it in, feel like I'm in a nightmare. That's a positive your mum is getting an operation to remove. My mum's treatment is supposed to start next week. 

Stay Strong

Hey, thank you for getting in touch as I also feel like I'm living in a nightmare, I'm scared to go to sleep every night, because of dreams and every time I wake up it becomes real, I have no friends going through the same thing and I'd like to stay in touch as it really helps? Xxx

I know it's such a horrible situation to be in.  And feeling so helpless. Has your mum spoke about it to you? Yes we'll stay in touch.

Xx

Thank you! :) as you know this is probably the only thing we have been fearful of our entire lives our mumma getting ill :( how are you coping with it all? I'm not sure I am? Found myself drinking more in the evenings.. Xx
