Hi everyone,
I’m having a really hard time dealing with my emotions, my uncle got diagnosed in October 2022 and he lost his fight to cancer 12th may 2023 but in the mean time of getting my head over his diagnosis my Nan who I’m very much close with got diagnosed with PC in March 2023 and she’s too poorly for chemo, i don’t know how to deal with my emotions about it I just cry all the time I have three young children and I haven’t told them how poorly their great nan is and all they say to me is mum why are you crying again, any help on how to deal with my emotions would be a big help,
thank you
Hi Jord1 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm so sorry to read that you have just lost your uncle to cancer and now your nan has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you also join the family and friends group which is a great place to get support from others who have a family member living with cancer. You may also feel that you'd like to connect with the bereaved family and friends group, which would give you the opportunity to discuss how you feel about losing your uncle.
To join either or both of these groups, just click on the links I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your nan's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
