Terminal adenocarcinoma

I was diagnosed with terminal adenocarcinoma of the lung and bone cancer in sept/Oct last year. I am receiving palliative chemotherapy but I am terrified of dying. I have 5 children.. Michael 20... Sapphire 10 and a half... Joseph 9... Morgan 7 and Nikolas 6 in May. My 20 year old knows about the diagnosis but the other 4 have only been told that mummy is very poorly and won't get better. Only Michael lives with me, the others live with their fathers as I am unable to look after them. I'm finding it really difficult as it feels like my motherhood has been taken away from me. I don't know how long I have left which is difficult.

Please I just need someone to talk to

  • An awful situation. I don't really know what to say about the fear of dying, except to express my own views. We are all going to die. And I believe death leads to simple non-existence. Which is the same state as we had before being born. Without suffering of any kind. Just oblivion. Other people have different views, of course, or religious beliefs.
    I am in a fortunate situation now, compared to my situation at diagnosis 18 months ago. It is unlikely now that my cancer will kill me. It worked out differently for you. I am so sorry. xx Harry

  • I just found out yesterday I have breast cancer. I know nothing else at this point.  Found this site. Was drawn by your post.......I do not fear dying..........I know where I am going.  I have 3 children.....Josh 33 homeless and trapped in drug addiction..pray for his deliverance daily....then Kati 31 my strong child with my 3 grandchildren Jaden (10, Luke (6) and Abram (1)...then Ian 25...with lots of issues....still at home with me.  I will share with you the wonderful love and peace of the savior........find your bible and read John 14:6.  HE is full of compassion and peace...and you can know where your are going

  • I really feel for you. Have you been given a prognosis?
