Help please

Hi

I’m hoping anyone can help me, my mum has recently been diagnosed with ductal liver cancer, she was fine when I had my baby in July and helped me with him so much but when he was 7 weeks old she became jaundiced and really unwell.

Since this time she’s been told it’s inoperable and has had stents to help her jaundice go down, she’s back in hospital as they think there is a blockage in her stent but if it’s just her livers reaction to the cancer she may only have weeks left to live.

I feel like I’m falling apart but trying to keep things together for my baby and my dad, my husbands great with looking after our son so I can visit mum but I honestly don’t think I can cope when she goes.

If anyone can help me with advice to prepare to make sure I don’t completely fall apart I’d appreciate it, I’m an only child to so have no siblings to remember things with or help! 

Thanks for any and all advice

  • Hi dont worry you will not fall apart we seem to get strenght to deal with these horrible times just be with your mum tell her you love her as a parant thats the best thing you can hear from your kids and the she knows what a good job she made of bringing you up. Sorry cant advise you because we all deal with these things diffrently but will cope and your mum will be proud you know that having little ones yourself .you will have a local hospice near you give them a call expalain whats going on to head counciler and see what they can suggest there a welth information if its its causing you problems just coping ave a word with your gp you dont have ro suffer alone .paul

  • Ask everyone for support-the cancer research nurses here, local hospice/ Macmillan team nurses and counsellors.

    The pain is agony.No-onE can take that away but professional help will give you some tools for coping.

    Because you will cope.There is no other way.There is your baby, and husband, and father.

    Acceptit will be dreadful and allow it to be so, with support
