Last year my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer she has been slowly deterating I seem to keep things bottled up and keep thinking it will go away I thought i t might. Help coming on here and talking to people in a similar situation
hello jon1 I'm sorry to hear about your mum I did exactly the same thing when I found out about my mum the best think to remember is there is always someone there for you I didn't realise that in till it was to late I'm no longer in the same situation as I lost my mum in November are you in contact with McMillan nurses Im always here if you need a chat or just need someone to listen or anything you can message me x
I am sorry for your loss I have been to see the mc millan nurses as when we first found out about my mum I found it hard to find out the full facts as my mum and dad tried to protect me and my younger brother from things the hardest thing to come to terms with is that my mum up until last year was always so active and independent now with her having cancer in her hips spine scull and lungs all I see is a slow decline in her health although I try to spend as Mutch time as can with her I fell very helpless .
I've recently been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and I have 2 children Nathan 24 and Lauren 20. From day one after being told my children and I spoke openly, honestly and truthfully about our feelings. We spoke about how it would affect each of us in diffent ways but remembering to stay United and strong for each other. I don't have a partnerso my children are everything to me and I worry about how they are coping.
The only thing I would suggest to you is to try and be open and honest to your mother about your feelings so you both can work together to come to terms with the cancer. Your mother hasn't changed, she is still the same person trying to fight and be strong. Be strong and take care of yourself
Hi am Maggie know how hard it is ..I lost my brother last April n been so hard .. he had some rare cancer was diagnosed on 25 march n died 13th April only had 3wks with him so was really hard to watch him die he was only 48 ..n was hard to speak to him abt dying I just never b honest I just cried ever time I went visit him. He was so brave tho ... just tell ur mum how much u love her every time u leave that's all u can do. ... it becomes a waiting game in end ..it's soooo sad .. but u will get threw it trust me ......
I also found this s very hard to watch with my mum although I was my mums carer for 6 year she had the bone cancer for 4/5 years its heart breaking to see the last year she just got worse and needed a wheelchair so I use to take her on walls walks in the chair and remember all the good times just something we could do together and just let your mum know it's ok to talk about it with you I brought my mum a teddy bear that she kept with her the last week of her life and wish I had done it sooner it brought so much comfort to her sorry if this isnt much help to you x
