Hi, I’ve never been on any type of forum like this before, so, hi!

my mum has advanced lung cancer and began chemo last week. The future is scary but we’re trying to stay positive it’s just a real struggle at the moment when you can’t meet up with your own friends to “hug it out” or let off some steam. My mum has been ok with the chemos so far, no sickness, just tired and a bit out-of-It with the lorazepam afterwards. 

if anyone has any words of advice, they would be gratefully received. 

  • Hi,

    No advice as yet but wanted to reach out to tell you im going through exactly the same. Mum diagnosed with stage 4 advance lung cancer . Nothing they can do except pallative chemo which starts Tuesday.  Im heartbroken and so frightened at the thought of whats to come. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone. Im always happy to talk Heart

    Thank you for responding, it’s so weird because all everyone wants you to do is stay positive, which I am trying to be. But I just feel that no one is feeling the same way as me. As well as the whole covid situation, I can’t go near anyone because if mum catches covid ... she’ll die . It’s a very lonely time 

  • I definitely agree with you that covid is making things even worse than they are. I cant attend hospital appointments with my mum or do much to support her when she has to hear this awful news. Its so much to take in. Im really sorry for your news I know how awful and totally life changing it can be to think of loosing your mum. Im really close to mine she's my best friend. Im devastated and trying so hard to not let her see because I want to be strong for her x
