Found out my mum has few weeks months to live

Short story- my mum is 62 years old, she has had 3 cancers and lung conditions which has made her unable to walk a lot of the time- this 3rd cancer is head and neck, this Wednesday we found out there is nothing that can be done, and that my mum does not have long left. My mum is currently in a wheel chair and struggles a lot but still with it mentally most of the time which I love but I really thought there would be more treatment options and I just can’t CANT believe that I am going to loose my mum. 

I can see my whole family sinking my dads just heartbroken, so is my brother so are we all and I can’t cope with the thought of her not being here; I call my mum a ridiculous amount of time and spend most of my time with her as I have got signed off work. I have no idea what I will do with out her as I’m only in my 20’s with a 4 year old. I’m just broken and needed to type it to someone that might understand how I’m feeling.

  • Welcome to the forum Jessrose15 although I'm so sorry to hear about your mum.

    I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you, your mum and the rest of the family but I hope you can take some strength, and comfort, from knowing that the Cancer Chat community are here for you and I'm sure it won't be long until some of our members stop by to offer you their support and advice.

    I know there isn't anything I can do or say that will make this any easier but I really do hope writing this all down has helped somewhat and if you would like to talk about any of this with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    Our thoughts are with you during this challenging time.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
