Hi Wendy,

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, I cannot imagine what you have been going through.

My dad has been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer, which is different to what you have been going through, but obviously still a very difficult time. I saw your post and wanted to say that however much you need/want to stay strong for your daughters it is also really important to let them know how you are feeling.  I am in my early 20s and I would hate for my mum to be upset and not tell me, and I'm sure your daughters would feel the same. I think in times like these everyone needs to be there for each other.

Take care x

Hi Stardust thank you for your reply I am so sorry to hear about your dad and hope that he is not in any pain I will speak to my family about how I am feeling but it is really difficult because my eldest is waiting for a heart valve replacement and my youngest daughters boyfriends mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer with liver and lung secondaries just before Christmas so they both have lots on their plate sending you and your family my best wishes Wendy x

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for your message, your circumstances sound awful and extremely difficult, I completely understand why it's hard to talk to your family.  Just be there for each other I think that's all anyone can do.  Thank you for your kind words, I am thinking of you and your family x
