My mum is terminal with gallbladder cancer.

When I heard the News that my mum was terminally ill with gallbladder cancer I was in shock and still am. I am in disbelief and keep waking up in the middle of the night.

I'm not handling this well and I need some kind of support, I can't imagine my life without her in it. I keep having hot flushs down my body when it dawns on me. 

  • Hello Alexalpal,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm very sorry to hear about your mum and how you're feeling. It's not easy to recieve this kind of news, so it's important to know when you need support. I hope using the forum will be helpful to you. You can read about support with caring for a loved one here. There is also some information on advanced gallbladder cancer here, which might be useful for preparing you for the next steps. Talking about your feelings can be healing too, be it with family or friends, and we also have a team of nurses available if you need to speak to someone. You can call them on the freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines are open from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

    All the best to you,
