Hello everyone, 

im new here. I'm wondering if anyone is going through the same as me at the moment. My beautiful mother was diagnosed with lung cancer 8 years ago, she has done so well!!! 2 weeks ago we were told the cancer has spread within the space of 4 week and they've given her 12 months to live. I'm in my late 20's and my mum is in her mid 50's. I'm not coping, I just keep crying. I love my mum so much and I can't imagine life without her! I'm so scared with what the next 12 months holds for us. I feel like no one is understanding me. I'm grieving right now, is it normal to feel like this?? 

  • Hi there,

    Sorry to hear about your mum. My mum was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year and is currently undergoing treatment. I can totally relate to your feelings. My mum is my world and I don’t know what I’d do without her. Like you, I feel like I’m grieving. Initially I really struggled. Couldn’t eat, sleep, concentrate. I’m in a better place now but still terrified of what the future holds. I’m trying to take each day at a time. Though sometimes it’s tough. 

    Sending well wishes to u & your mum. Happy to talk if u need to. xx
