Posted yesterday for first time and today my lovely mum died.diagnosed in October.sat here by myself with no clue what to do and just need to say cancer is awful and I'm so angry it has robbed us.
Thank you. My dad had throat cancer in 2020 and we were told he was cured.
He was a very fit and active 70 year old man. In April he developed back pain which we thought was sciatica. The GP, physio all said just wear and tear.
Ths pain didn't go away and in September my dad had a private MRI and we were shell shocked to be told that he had meteststic cancer to the bones. The GP said she expected dad may have 6 to 12 months.
I have no idea how my dad deteriated so quickly but 8 weeks later he passed away. We were on holiday together in July. It is so traumatic to lose a loved one so quickly.
Im sory for you loss. My mum died 3 weeks ago, 11 days after being diagnosed with liver cancer. We had her funeral on 5th December . I feel totally lost & angry too. Cancer sucks
I am so sorry to hear the loss of your beautiful mum. I cannot imagine the trauma you have/going through over the past 8 weeks but these groups are certainly a blessing to bring us all together. What symptoms did your mum have? my mum was taken in yesterday an we are now waiting results of her MRI.
I am so so sorry to hear the loss of your dad. We are just waiting to hear if my mums results of her MRI. I have and am cherishing every minute with her but have a positive head that it is curable an we may get another few years. I cannot imagine what it's like to lose a parent, she is my best friend. I'm so scared right now for her.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. The pain is unimaginable, but there are many here who will know what you're going through - myself included.
I also lost my mum in February, just weeks after diagnosis and to say we were shell-shocked is an understatement. My shock is only just starting to subside now.
Grief is a very strange thing, and you'll probably be surprised how it affects you, so don't put any pressure on yourself and give yourself time to process things at your own pace. Please look after yourself and lean on those around you, especially once the madness of the next few weeks is over.
You are certainly not alone. I wanted to pass on to you my condolences. My mother was diagnosed in May 2022 and had passed away by late September 2022. She was given potentially 1 year. She had passed away within 16 weeks.
My mothers funeral fell a few days after my birthday. And Christmas will be very challenging. As I'm sure it will be for many who have recently suffered a bereavement.
