My mum has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer and sadly was given 6 months to live in July last year,she is still with us which is great however is deteriorating, I'm struggling in I have no help and doing everything for her.
It’s completely understandable how overwhelming it can feel when you’re carrying everything on your own, and it’s important to remember that it’s okay to ask for help, even if it feels difficult. There are resources and advice available to support both you and your mum, and I hope they can provide some relief during this time.
You may find it helpful to explore a page on our website called family, friends, and caregivers which offers practical tips on coping and managing the challenges of being a carer. It also includes advice on how to get support and take care of your well-being while caring for a loved one.
Hopefully, others who can relate to your situation will be along soon with their own advice and support.
Please remember, we’re here for you whenever you need a chat.
Wishing you strength and comfort, Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
