Hi I'm new just signed up. Found out this week thst my mum has lung cancer spread to her spine. They've said that she's too weak for treatment. She's 74. I'm 43 with two young boys aged 5 and 9. I work full time in a stressful management role. Work's supportive but its hard not to worry. I'm not sure I'm going to cope to be honest Im up and down this week. They've said months to live...no more than 6 months! I'm devastated and in shock x

    Hey I’m going through the same thing with my mam they keep telling me they have treatments they can use but nothing had changed since April. I’ve tried to be positive but it’s hard. I couldn’t imaging having to juggle work and kids with this. I’m so sorry you have to go through so much. I’m 21 working and in college and it feels like sometimes it’s easier to be so busy that you don’t have time to think about it. If ever you just need to chat and get things off your chest feel free to reach out because we’re all in this together. Xx
