Hi all
Im not sure where to turn or if anyone can help? My mum was diagnosed on 8th Feb with a large tumour in her breast and cancer in her lymph nodes. She has had a successful mastectomy and lymph node clearance and is starting radiotherapy at the end of May. Mum is 80 but still full of life. She is recovering well but needs a lot more day to day care than previously. I work full time but she only lives 5 mins away so I am managing to fulfil the caring side of things. Dad passed away last year and I'm their only child. Even though recovery is going well I am feeling very low and struggling to cope with these feelings. Surely I should be happy she is recovering and doing so well (I'm so proud of how she has coped). I had to take time off work this week as I hadn't slept, am struggling to eat as well and just couldn't cope with going into the office. Is this something other carers have felt?? Why am I not able to be happy she is well??
