Mum non small cell

I'm currently helping to care for mum who has stage 4 non small cell lung cancer and over the last 2 months she has deteriorated dramatically. She was only given till Christmas but has kept fighting but it's so hard to deal with what she says as she says things due to her losing her mind. I'm only 19 my brother is 13 this isn't fair at all. I'm trying so hard to come to terms with it but im finding it impossible. I just want to find someone in the same position who I can speak to and understand. :(

  • Hello Adam.  Welcome to the forum.  I am so sorry to hear of your distressing situation  with your mum deteriorating more quickly now.  It is now some years since I lost my mum to cancer and I know how helpless you can feel.  It is after midnight and I feel you will get some more responses tomorrow; I am really just wanting to let you know how pleased I am that you have come here.  Have you got other older family members who are helping you through this?

    I have attached a link to an organisation for young people aged 11-25 who have a family member with a terminal diagnosis.  I have only recently come across this so have not had any feedback but it sounds as though it may be helpful and you might like to contact them.

    Goodnight and hoping you will get more people posting tomorrow.  Annie
