Heartbroken

  • Hello Smiffy1987

    im so sorry you are feeling that way, it must be so difficult for you especially when it’s your mum, I am very close to my mum so I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now. It is a very scary time, I do think it’s very important that you do discuss your feelings with the hospital team, They will be able to offer you & your mum support and a safe place to explore your feelings.

    Take care of yourself xxxxx

  • Hello Smiffy1987 and thank you for posting,

    I am sorry to learn that your mum has breast cancer this must be a difficult time for you all.

    I hope you have support at this time with family and friends that you can lean on.

    It can be scary to hear that someone you love has cancer and it can be overwhelming. However, it is important to know that because it is so common, the doctors know how to treat this type of cancer and there are many treatment options and most women do very well.

    Just take one step at a time. If you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer information nurses or have any questions, you are welcome to give us a call on freephone 0808 800 4040. We are available between 9 am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Jemma
