Parents with cancer

sometimes I wish I had someone who understood what I feel. Don’t get me wrong I’ve a friend who’s dad is going through treatment and she talks to me and looks for advice. But because I’ve been through this once before with my mam she thinks that I’ll be fine this time around. But to be honest this time around is not easer it is even harder because my mam has terminal cancer. 

  • Hello emma2112, 

    You've come to the right place Emma2112 as so many members of our community will understand just how you feel at the moment and sadly find themselves in a similar situation. It must be really hard for you as you have been through this before and it's hitting you and your mum yet again. 

    It's great you have a friend to talk to who is also going through this but sometimes it's nice to just come here on the forum and talk to others you may never have seen before but who are there to listen to you too and share their personal experiences of supporting a loved one with cancer. There is also useful information on our website for Family, friends and caregivers  which has tips on how to support someone with cancer and how to take care of yourself too which is also very important. 

    Best wishes,
