My head has fell off - overwhelmed by my parents illnesses

My mums been diagnosed with lung cancer, but too poorly for a biopsy or treatment as in chemotherapy,  I'm sort of understanding but I'm wanting answers,  but I'm also dealing with my dad having open heart surgery and my head isn't asking questions I have at the time I want to ask them. 

  • Hi Rachbabs,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your parents - this is a lot to be dealing with and I can understand it must all be a lot to process.

    It may help to make some notes at the time you think of certain questions or concerns. This will help you to not feel you're having to remember lots of things, and will also mean you have things to hand when you have the opportunity to speak to your parents, or possibly their doctors, to get the answers you need.

    Keep speaking to others around you for support too, and we are always here on the forum as well if ever you need it. Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here soon.

    I hope you're able to find out more before long.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
