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
