I notice that you have very kindly offered to speak to people before and nobody seems to have taken you up on your kind offer. Can I suggest that you just wade in and contribute to some of the posts? The more people we have contributing to the forum,the less strain there is on those of us who have cancer, but are trying to keep the site as active as possible.
I am sure that your input will be much appreciated.
im June and my daughter, Nicola, has secondary ovarian cancer in her stomach and pelvis. She is 34 but has Spina Bifida, is a wheelchair user and has learning difficulties. I know anyone getting cancer is so unfair but she has had enough wrong over the years and beat the cancer 2 years ago. There is no treatment as it would likely kill her so we have been told weeks/months. She is on steroids and pain medication and appears fine at the moment.
I'm so sorry to hear that, it's hard to understand why bad things can happen to good people, especially so young! God bless you both, remember it's okay to cry and let it all out it's not healthy to keep it all trapped in.
What a heart-breaking story. It just doesn’t seem fair, when some people get so much thrust upon them, does it?
I am so sorry to hear that there is no suitable treatment for your daughter. This must be even more distressing than for other parents with healthy children, in that I’m sure that you have probably spent more time with her than most parents would with a daughter of 34.
I lost one of my brothers when he was only 28 and I know just how devastated we all were, but especially my mum. No parent should have to see their child die before them and this is such a drawn out process that it is heartbreaking to watch. I have lost both of my parents, several family members and close friends to cancer and have fought 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 8 years. I am currently waiting to see a dermatologist at the end of this month for tests of a mole on my back.
I hope that you are getting the support that you need to care for her at the moment and that you have family and friends who are there for you. Steph is quite right, sometimes we need a good cry to release some of our pent up emotions. This is a good release valve for all of the anxiety you’re going through, so let the tears flow.
It is a cruel, cruel disease. I am glad to hear that she is not in pain and I hope and pray that you will find the strength to cope with all that is happening.
Please keep us in the loop and let us know how things are going. We are always here for you.
