Feeling scared how do you cope?

My first time posting to anything. 

My beautiful daughter and only child has been treated for stage 2b cervical cancer.  She is 29 and a mum herself to two under 5s. She underwent gruelling chemo radio and brachytherapy treatment. Was hospitalised for most of the time and had horrible side effects   

Six months on and th3 worst news possible that she has been told it’s incurable and has spread to lymph nodes.  I am devastated and finding it so hard to cope. 

I want to ask so many questions but obviously goes to appointments with husband not parents. We have a wonderful Maggie’s centre that I will visit. But in the mean time how do I keep it together?  I can’t stop sobbing and want to scream at times. 

  • Hi ya ...and welcome ..

    My heart goes out to you ... l cannot imagine how heartbraking this time is for you all ... I've been able to get through my cancer journey quite well .. I'm pretty tough cookie for almost anything except when it comes to our babies ... I fall apart ... 

    There are times on here I wish I had a magic wand, this is one of them .. but remember your grandkids are part of her .. they will carry her in them always ... how us mum's get through .. just a day at a time .. my youngest was diagnosed type 1 diabetic at 14 ... lve nearly lost him a couple of times to servere hypos. . And live with hearing a dreaded call one day .. he has two little ones too ... so l have a little knowledge of those feelings .. 

    I just want to say, this is a place where you can say anything .. there's been other mum's in your situation ..  l hope one of them see this thread and can give more help then me ... my thoughts are with you ..
