My mom's cancer/emotions

Hi all,

I don't know where to start has my emotions are all over the place, my moms cancer has come back, she was told this time there's no cure, she has to have radiotherapy to try reduce the size. 

She's in so much pain, lost so much weight, she fell 3 x from her wheelchair and is bleeding on and off, she's always cold, sleeps all day, and has stopped eating. Dietician as sent out bottles to eat and drink but she not feeling them... On top of this her memory seems to be going.

I'm so emotional and broken to see my mom like this..  

  • Hi blue shadow ,

    I m so sorry to hear your news. Its gut wrenching but there are some brilliant treatments now , with people living a lot longer and having a good quality of life with an incurable diagnosis. Its probably been a huge shock to your mum who has to get her head round this too. Be positive and strong, she will follow your lead I m sure.

    Wishing you and your mum all the best xx

  • I completely feel you my dear. My mum's cancer is also back and she's starting Radiotherapy next week-exactly the same prognosis as yours.  She's not in pain yet but she's shocked, scared and sad. the knowledge that she's not going to be around has left me a shell of myself. When I'm not with her, I'm just sobbing endlessly. 
     

    I don't have any advice for you -I just wanted to share that you're not alone.
