Hi hun,

Congratulations on your marriage! I'm so sorry to read this- 22 is absolutely no age at all and you're absolutely within your rights to feel the way you do.

My lovely mum was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumour in Feb this year and was told the prognosis was 18 months- despite her currently doing well, it still feels like there's a clock above all our heads.

I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly what the right advice is, as I'm still figuring it all out too- but please, if you ever need a chat just let me know! I'm currently coming towards the end of my masters degree, I'm 23 so sounds like we're a similar age :) the best thing to do honestly is just take each day at a time and don't try and predict anything. As for his parents, I'm sure that you are wanted there, they're probably just feeling just as scared and cheated as you are. If you really hate your job, I can't stress enough then honestly look for something else. I had a full-time job at a law firm whilst I write my dissertation but I absolutely hated it, and as soon as I left I felt so much better. 

As for snapping and being emotional- I'm exactly the same, this is all just part of coming to terms with the rubbish hand you and your family have been dealt.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you're doing great xx

Sending a huge hug <3 

Hi Lauren

I can relate to how you are feeling. My husband has just finished his first cycle of chemo. I have been told that they can't cure his type only treat it. It's tough going trying to keep things going. We just keep getting more and more bad news. I feel torn that I have to keep working and feel family are judging me for it. However I find talking to others who have been through simular makes it alittle bit easier for me. I also tend to use the gym to help me get my anger and frustration out.
