I'm feeling useless and scared

Hey, my mum was diagnosed last year with secondary breast cancer in bones and liver, it has been so hard watching her in pain and struggling and I'm trying my best to help as much as I can, recently bad jaundice has started and I am so scared, my stomach is in knots and I just don't know what to do, I'm trying to stay strong for her but every night I'm just crying and can't sleep...I don't know the point in this post, I guess I'm just looking for help on how people cope and to know I'm not alone

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat j4k, although I'm sorry to hear about the reason that brings you here.

    Having someone we love going to through cancer can be one of the most difficult things we'll experience in life so it's only natural that you're feeling the way you do right now. But it's important though to look after yourself during this process. With this in mind, there is a page from our website I'd like to share with you, here you'll find some tips on how to support someone with cancer and how to take care of yourself. I hope this can be of some help.

    Also, please remember, you're not alone in this. We have many others here who will understand how you're feeling right now so do reach out if you feel like a chat. We're here for you.

    Best wishes to you and your mum,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
