Mum and Dad. It is so unfair

My Dad died from pancreatic cancer less than 2 years ago and this week my mum has been diagnosed with lung and bone  cancer. I don't think I will be able to cope with losing my mum after my dad. It is so raw and without my mum and best friend it will be so hard.

    Hello Lynne.  I have just posted on the notice board.  I too feel your pain as I am seeking help to cope with my only child's diagnosis with secondary cancer.  Somehow we have to find strength and I hope we can through others who are going through the same feelings as we are. Thinking about you tonight and understand your pain.  Wish We could give each other a big hug.

    Welcome to the forum Lynne75 and Dekarl! It is great you are able to support one another and that you can understand how you both feel and what it is like to care for a loved one with cancer.

    I just wanted to let you know Dekarl that I have moved your own thread to the same topic area as Lynne75's, Caring for Someone with Cancer. Noticeboard is more for events that people can share and I wanted to make sure your post wouldn't be missed by others in a similar situation as you. To make it even easier, I thought I would include the link to your thread here so that Lynne can read your story in just the click of a button!

    Best wishes,
