Hi Chappers, 

I just came across your post and wanted to let you know how sorry I am that your mother has continued to get worse since finishing her radiotherapy.

I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you all and how upsetting it must be that your plans for making memories together may no longer be possible.

I'm sure some of our members who have been in this position will offer what support they can and share their advice and experiences with you soon but in the meantime, I hope this article I've found about anticipatory grief will help you at this time.

Also, if you have any questions or would just like to talk this through with someone then our team of cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very supportive and will do all they can to help.

We're thinking of you Chappers and wishing your mother all the best for next week.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi Steph, 

Thank you so much for your kind words in your reply. I think that number will definitely come in handy. Even just writing that first discussion made me feel better just getting all my thoughts out! 
 

Thank you again,

So brave reaching out to talk about your family's situation! My husband keeps encouraging me to do the same, so here I am. My dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma in April. I would love to chat if either of you, Mia or Sarah, are up for it...

 Thanks for starting the conversation

Hi Ada, 

so sorry to hear about your dad, my heart really does go out to you. If you ever want to chat drop me a message it would be really lovely to chat with someone that can relate <3 

Hi Ada,

Your Husband is right, I wished I had reached out when my Dad was first Diagnosed unfortunately I didn't as I wa to scared to hear something I didn't want to hear.

How is your Dad getting on? It's really tough, I know from experience but if you have lots of love and always have hope xx

Hi Mia,

I am so sorry to read your post, have you spoken to your GP about your Mum getting worse? Maybe they need too alter her Medicine, you could also ring her team I am sure they will ups be happy to have a chat and maybe reassure you a bit. 
 

Take each day as it comes, don't look to far into the future, my Dad was a bit older at 62 but I know how frightened you are. You must ask for the help and look after yourself. You will have too dig deep and be brave, you can do this. Thinking of you xxx
