Welcome to the forum chanty1998,

You have come to the right place for support and you will always find a shoulder to cry on here. Sometimes it is difficult to talk to the ones that are closest to us about this, but people on this forum will know exactly what it is like to look after and support a loved one with cancer.

I will let them come and say hello to you now and share their story so that you feel less alone. You can come here anytime. Rather than crying yourself to sleep, you can always count on someone to talk to you here, even late at night or in the early hours of the morning.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

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

Hi honey! it is useless to tell you how sorry i am..indeed, you must be strong...but...about your mother...my mom has also cervical cancer. she had surgery. they took off all her genital organs and now she is having chemo and radiotherapy. and it is logical that if you remove the whole organ, you also remove the tumor. and then, with chemo you destroy all the cancer cells that the blood carried in the body. i am not a doctor, i am only telling you what my mom did. take care of you and your mom! god bless you! i hope that soon you will be giving us good news!

I really wish my mum only had it within her cervix (sounds horrible i know) but now as it is all within her bones and everywhere else it isn't possible to remove it. however we had some good news the other day...she had a scan ehihc thay said the cancer in her cervix is unmessurable whihc we are so happy about as it means that it is so hard to see to meassure how much is there :) 

It is a very rare type of cancer so not many people have heard of it :( however she seems to be fine just lately apart from her usual ups and downs.

i have spoken to my college tutors so they know wat is happening and they have been really supportive about it all, i couldn't ask for any better support. i also talk to my friends about is and they help me through it a lot and it is easier as they all know and love my mum. 

i always end up crying my self to sleep at times becuase i always end up thinking about the bad things. i never intend for these thoughts to happen but they always come inti my head when im about to go to sleep. i will be sitting in a hospital chair next to her bed and i realise that one day we will be like this but for a completly different reason :( 

i never want to to loose my mum and i want her to be able to see all the great things i acheive in life...but i know that might not happen :cry:
