Small Cell Cervical Cancer

On Tuesday I found out that my mum has a very rare form of cancer and doesn't really have anything specific to cure it. she will be living with this for the rest of her life and i can't even imagine what she would look like in a few months time, it scares me that much. I am only 16 and don't have a clue on where to start with handling it all, all f my family and friends are telling me how i need to be strong for my mum and my family at home. However it is all starting to get on top of me now and I have actually started crying myself to sleep i just want to cry that much. I feel like I am on my own right now and odn't have anyone to turn to other than my boyfriend but he doesn't say much about it (but i don't blame him), he doesn't know what to say.i just wish that there were more people out there that knew about this cancer and tat there was a way to cure it :cry: we don't know how long she has left but i hope it is a very long time as i want her to see me eventually get married, have children and finally get the job of my dreams and to just simply succeed in life!

  • Oh Chanty,
    I am so sorry to see the reason you have joined this forum of lovely people.  I am not familiar with mums type of cancer.
    Do you have any idea of mums planned treatment ?  Besides your boyfriend is there anyone else you can talk to?  Just a suggestion....why not call the nurses here on Monday and have a chat.
    Thinking of you and sending you a virtual hug,
    Kathy xx

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I really don't think you should try to be strong all the time. It is ok to not be coping. I am in my late 30s and struggling to cope with my dad's diagnosis, I can't imagine how I would feel if I were your age. You ought to be looking forward to many more years with your mum. Please do ask for help. x
