Feeling numb and unsure

Hi Anniie

I am so sorry to hear your news,  I  too am supporting a loved one with endometrial cancer and its such a shock to learn that I have it ( although it's a different type),  we look to our loved ones and their experiences and that bit of extra knowledge can be very scary,  but... we have to realise that everyone's journey is different. I hope you will find this group of supportive ladies a comfort and somewhere where people can empathise with one another. Take care xx

Hi Anniie

Iam sorry that you find yourself here with us on this site but rest assured that you have come to a place where you are among ladies who understand what it's like and have some pearls of wisdom to offer about their own experiences.

I really feel for you having been through so much with your Mum. I too was in a similar situation having nursed my Mum through lung Cancer at the start of lockdown and then loosing my Dad 4 months later. My Mum too is on regular check ups and is doing really well.

The waiting for results is the hardest thing to cope with but try to stay calm and not worry.

I completely understand why you are feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Have you spoken to your GP about feeling like this or Macmillan help line?

We are here for you Anniie.

Big hugs Robin x

Anniie  so sorry you’re in this position just when your life was starting to get back to some normality. I’ll echo what others have said, this is a fantastic forum for support, as much or as little as you need, I’ve found it invaluable and has helped me get through the last couple of months. There’s always someone here when you’re feeling a need to rant, ask questions or just chat.
