Hi,
After months of treatment for lung cancer and previous successful bowel cancer, I found out this week that my grandmother whom I'm very close to, has a matter of months to live as the cancer has spread to her liver.
This came as a huge shock to all the family as after her recent round of Chemo she seemed to be almost back to full health so we are all absolutely heartbroken.
I know that it's still raw given it was only a matter of days ago but I am really struggling to come to terms and deal with what is a very harsh reality. I know that there is nothing that can be done but can't help but get waves of feeling completely overwhelmed and often find myself feeling sad about the things she won't be around to see, like me having my first child or getting married.
I suppose I'd just like to know how other people have got through this process? Because she only has a matter of months left, I want to make the most of it but at the moment I haven't even been able to pick up the phone for fear of breaking down.
