Mum is going through Chemotherapy

Hey I’m finding it hard at times to deal with hospital runs, chemotherapy, my own family and looking after mum. She needs me as she’s alone and depends on me. I’ve moved in with her literally and see my family daily but for short periods. It’s getting harder 

  • Hi Rana_K,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your mum, and I can completely understand this must be incredibly difficult for you.

    It sounds like you are doing a great job with supporting her and those around you, but it's important that you get support too.

    I hope that this forum can be of some small help to you. Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post soon - I'm sure there will be others here who can relate to what you're going through. You can always search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.

    If ever you feel you'd like some additional help, have a look at Macmillan and Maggie's, who offer various resources, helplines and also local centres.

    Wherever possible, try to take little moments for yourself. For example to do things like meditation, or other activities that you enjoy, that can act as small breaks.

    We are always here whenever you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
