Lost and angry

My mom got her terminal diagnosis in April just after getting her cancer free diagnosis in January and I am so lost and angry at the world. I’m 21 now and when she was first diagnosed was in 2021 with colon cancer I was in 19. I’m just so angry that she has to go through so much and I can’t do anything to help. She had cancer in her liver and lungs and we just found out that it could be in her spine. She did an mri and we’re waiting for the news. Since April none of the treatments have worked to shrink it and the doctors keep saying there are other chemos that we can try. I just find it so hard to be hopeful. My mam was in and out for f hospital for months over the summer and I was in there every day before and after work. I’ve 3 siblings and I’m the second youngest but I just feel like I’ve taken it all on so they wouldn’t have to. I thought I could handle it but I can’t cope seeing her in so much pain and not being able to do anything. Sorry this is so long I just don’t know what to do.

  • Hey Jolamine

    sadly my mam passed before Christmas. She fought so hard till the end and we were all around her.

    it’s been really hard but we’ve got some amazing support and are getting through this the best we can.

  • Hi Emma,

    I am so sorry to hear that your mam passed away before Christmas, although I am glad to hear that you all managed to be with her at the end. It is never easy to cope with the loss of a loved one, especially when that person is your mam, who has been there for you throughout your entire life.

    It is reassuring to hear that you have had such amazing support and that you are getting through this as well as you can. This is always a hard time and we all come to terms with our losses eventually.

    I am sending you and your family my sincere condolences and I am always here for you when times are tough.

    Kindest regards,

    Jolamine xx
