My mum has recently been told that she probably has pancreatic cancer - still awaiting more tests. My mum and I are very close and I am devastated. I'm trying to stay strong for the family and my daughter but I am a mess. I don't know what to feel and how to process it. Any advice.
I have got Pancreatic Cancer so it is very different for me. My Mum died in November 2016. Mum didn’t have cancer. She had Vascular Dementia and I cared for her for almost 24 hours a day. After she died, although we were not particularly close, I did my absolute best for her and when she did die, I felt completely lost. She had been my total focus for so long that I felt really lost. Try and stay strong and do t think you’re being weak by asking for help. I was very close to my Dad and he died in 1992 aged only 65. I do really feel for you and if there is anything that I can do to help, then I will xxx
It is very hard but as I said in my last email, please don’t be afraid to ask for help. I often think that it is easier to speak to a counsellor Or health professional than it is a close friend. If you don’t mind my asking, how are you and your Mum? I am 62 in May and my gorgeous Grandson, Logan is 2 in May. I intend to fight this dreadful illness for as long as possible.
