We found out in June this year that my mum had cancer and I was in complete denial! My mum has had chemo and we thought it was positive! The doctor has said my mums chemo is incurable and she has less than a year to live! I had no reaction to this and suddenly a few nights ago I exploded! I wouldn't let go of my mum I was just clinging to her telling her to never leave me! I cannot live without my mum she is the person who holds me together and I'm not coping with all these new feelings. I've never been more scared. Anyone else been in the same situation.
Hi there ,Jayne2. Do we have to go through our dr.to get Macmillan nurses. My dad passed away on the 21st Feb just gone.and 2days before his funeral mum was diagnosed with lung cancer and its in her lymph nodes she won't have treatment. And the Dr says she is too fragile for even a biopsy. Apparently from looking at the scan its stage 2but can't tell how aggressive.Mum had a couple of falls on Monday and now can't hold her own weight eats very little and since the falls just sleeps all day only getting up for a wee. Which can sometimes be every 5-10mins and about 6times in the night.yesterday I just sat in the garden crying like a baby. I have no idea of time span. Have ask the Dr to do a house call today.
Hi, I hope you're ok, and things are getting better. I can totally relate to you; my mum was diagnosed 3 and a half years ago and she died this may. She always seemed really positive, and she hid that she was really hurting. It was only when she was in hospital this April that I realised how serious things were and that she was really going to die.
I'm sad that she'll miss so much of my life and I'm jealous of other people who just take having a mum for granted.
It was really awkward having my first period without her but I still have my best friends for advice.
I think I'm still in denial because I haven't cried a lot, but when I do get sad I'm lucky to have my little sister and my dad because I love them so much!!
I know exactly how you feel. I can't bear to be anywhere but cuddled up to her. All I do is tell her how much I love her, and I don't see a future for myself. Despite having amazing friends I still feel so alone.
I cannot imagine this is chills me to the bone. U r all so brave be strong people they need u now more than ever. Reading thru these posts give me anger at the illness makes me want to iradicate it. My cousin Mathew is a scientist who works on cancer treatments. My nanny died of cancer but I feel lucky it hasn't touched anyone else and god forbid it ever does. I just wanted to say this cuz my mum is a bit sick at the moment nothing serious and I read some posts here and it made me realise how fortunate I am. I hope everything will be ok for u all and god bless.
Hi Very sorry for your mum and you. I am in the same boat my mum is dying from bowel cancer.
I really inderstand its a very difficult time and I am just enjoying everyday with my mum and not thinking about when she' gone as it is heart breaking. I keep positive in front of mum but breakdown sometimes at home. The days are up and down emotionally dependng how mum is feeling.
My mum has hours to live I know she is goin to heaven so that comforts me a lot and her mum and dad are waiting on her me and my mum have promised each other that when we cross over that we will let each other know we r happy and make a way to communicate to let us know not to worry and that when it's my time to leave this world thas she will come and gt me am lying here praying that when my mum crosses over she will be in my arms I love u so so much mum amen
