My mum was diagnosed with the vile c word 2 years ago, first breast cancer and then it spread to ger back and ribs and hips. She is amazing and is getting on with life as much as she possibly can. She has been so strong that myself and my whole family have HAD to do the same for her. for 2 years i have had my moments behind close doors but recently i have been finding myself being very emotional and not being able to focus on the positives. I dont want to let her see that i am worried, my husband, family and friends would be there if i wanted to talk to them but i dont feel like i can talk to them about the things i want to with out breaking down. I was wondering if anybody new of any helplines i could try or maybe evan just coming on here if it helps?
She copes by not knowing any negatives, she doesnt ask too many questins and has told her consultant that she doesnt want to know the 'morbid' parts. This is great and works for her but im finding my self wanting to know what everything means - i cant find much info regarding her chemo tablets and i dont know what tumour count means and i feel like i would be more settled if i new a bit more but i dont want to force her to find out anything she doesnt want to as a positive attitude is whats helping her through it im so sure.
I love my mum shes only 56 and has alot more life to live and im petrified of anything happening.
