My Brothers Terminal Cancer :-(

My Brother who is only 40 has been diagnosed with terminal cancer primary kidney. This has devastated our whole family worst of all his 2 daughters 15 and 18. I spend most my days pretending it's not real, they must have got it wrong?! Then when I close my eyes at night I see what lies ahead. My mom and dad losing their son, me and my siblings losing our brother and my nieces losing their dad. I cant bear to see him going through this knowing the outcome is the worst possible. Hes been in hospital once already and still manages to smile and be strong. I need to be strong for him but dont know how. My heart is broken. I'm not ready to lose my big brother. Life is so cruel, why does cancer exist, why does it seem to affect all the good in this world. It's just not fair. 

  • Am so sorry to hear about your brothers diagnosis  prayer helps being positive helps taking it a day at a time and not thinking too far ahead has helped me cope with my husbands terminal diagnosis also enjoying the simple things like watching TV sitting out in sun enjoying an ice cream making memories hope this helps thinking of you x

  • Thank you, I'm also so very sorry to hear the news of your husband. The simple things seem like a lovely idea as before all of this I guess we were guilty of taking all those things for granted. Letting our busy lives get in the way, thinking there would be plenty more years ahead. Now the reality is we have been told 2 years, 4 months have gone by already. Struggling more than I realised emotionally and mentally. Need to focus on those simple things and find comfort in this group. I hope you are ok, always here to talk to. You are not alone xx
