Dont no were else to turn iv recantly found out my nans stomach cancer is terminal and they may not be able to do chemo x im extreamly close with her and it scares me to think she could be gone by this time next year x
Hi Gemma, my Nana passed away from breast cancer in 2005. I was very close to her and it is very difficult to hear especially when you can't do anything about it. Anything like this is scary and the fear of having a gap in your life that was filled with someone you care for is extremely hard to think about. Your nan just needs someone to look after her and make her feel supported during this hard time. If you can get through that you can get through anything. My Mother was diagnosed 4-weeks ago with head and neck cancer and has just started treatment for this too, it doesnt get easier, just do what you can but dont spread yourself too thinly otherwise you won't be any help to anyone. x
Hi there ... I'm on the other side to you, I'm the nan and the little lady on the picture is my granddaughter... she means the world to me, and me her ... I've got the breast cancer and I'm not having any treatment ... so I'm going to pack in as many memories with her as I can ... we chat , laugh, hug and hold on tightly to each day wer given ... I don't want to have one day feeling down ... I want her to be able to look back and remember all the fun we had ...
You have that chance with your nanna ... don't look too far ahead , live in the moment ... I'm sure she would love to share memories with you of when she was young ... how she met your grandad... the music she likes ... you could ask her if there's any thing she would still like to .. or places she wanted to see ... take this time as a gift, one you can make, holding her hand ... my mum died with no warning... I never got the time to even tell her once more how much I loved her ... so grab these days be it long or short and you go make them ... even though there will be tears and sadness sometimes... it's all part of loving someone so much ... big big hug to you ... chrisie xx
