Hi im Brian and im 36 years old.

I lost my beautiful wonderful mum 9th july 2025 and living with the grief is unbearable. 

My mother had bowel cancer in 2016. She then was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 years ago. After a lot of appointment and treatment we finally thought things were going to be okay. But in March 2025 she developed a tumor behind her eye which caused her eye to basically sie off. Even with this news we were still hopeful. 2 month later my mum was diagnosed with a fractured spine due to cancer spreading and was told that there was nothing they could do. We cared for her as best we could along with the brilliant Strathcarron nurses at home until she passed.

I have lost so many members of my family and friends to cancer. My father had cancer 2011 and survived but losing my mum... its a grief that seems like an ever widening black hole.
