My dad died a couple of years ago of lung cancer, he died 2 weeks after diagnosis and was so quick I didn't get to say goodbye, I lost my nan last year to dementia and shingles that went to her brain and watched her suffer, now my mum has beaten cancer twice before in the breast but now she has been told she has lung cancer which has spread to her liver and bones and only has a few months, I am trying to be strong for her and making her laugh as much as possible but I am breaking! When I am not taking my mum to appointments or helping her I have to work, I have no friends I can talk to - please someone tell me how to cope
Hi Dipy, welcome to the forum, but sorry you find yourself needing to be here because of your Mom's illness. You have come to the right place though as you can see from the people who have already responded to you. All of us on here either have, or had cancer, or are caring for a loved one with this terrible disease. Reading your post I can see that you feel all alone in caring for your Mom. I don't know what your situation is, but going through this with a loved one is very difficult when you have other family members for help and emotional support, but if you are trying to do this on your own, you must be struggling. If there are other relatives or close friends of yours, or your Mom's, I'm sure they would help you, if only for emotional support. People here on this forum know what you're going through and there is usually always someone ready to respond to a post, so don't hesitate to write up a post to get some support on here.
Stay with us and take care of yourself as you take this journey with your Mom. I know she must really appreciate what you do for her.
