Both parents diagnosed with cancer while being pregnant

Hi, just wanted to share with you my story. When I was pregnant my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and sadly he died last year - November 2017. He had left massive empty space...and he has never met his first grandson. Beginning this year in January my mum was diagnosed with cancer, same type as my dad but different place. She was taken to hospital when I was due to have a baby and there she had an intense chemiothera. She continues treatment however cancer remains terminal. 

I cannot describe how hopeless I am feeling.

Im just wondering if anyone else went through something similar?

  • Hi there ..

    So so sorry , life has really given you a crule time right now .. when it should be so different ... i wish i had words of comfort .. but that pain your feeling must be overwhelming ... I lost both my parents while I was in my 30s ... and felt robbed ... but you know I have felt my mum around over the years .. at times when things got tough ... I believe they watch over us ... 

    Hold on to this time with your mum .. my mum was fine one Monday morning .. at 5.20 she'd gone from a heart attack ... I couldn't tell her just how much I loved her and was so proud to have had her as my mum ... you still have a chance to say what's in your heart .. to hug, and share tears ... what I'd have given for just more day ... even an hour ... 

    They just live in my heart now ... and no one can take that away .. not even cancer ... so I'm sending you a big vertual hug ... hold on to every moment you get .. those memories will stay with you ... and fingers crossed her treatment will give her extra time ... Chrissie
