Hi xShorex

I am so sorry to hear this. I lost my mum to cancer lately 6weeks after diagnosis. I totally understand how you feel. I found it impossible to stay positive as we knew the outlook was not good. The only thing I can say is make the most of every single day now. Have as many chats as you can , go places , arrange activities , just go day by day and just think of what has to be done that day to make your mum happy and don’t dwell on the future. I tried to do that and even now I have regrets that I didn’t spend more time with her/talk to her more once we got the diagnosis. It is absolutely horrible and awful and only way to get through it is focus on one day at a time.

Hi, 

I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through. Life is bloody cruel. I lost my mum to lung cancer just a few weeks ago, so I totally understand how you’re feeling and what you’re going through. If you have any questions feel free to private message me on here and I’ll answer as best I can as I had many questions when I was at the stage you are. 

Have they offered any treatment for your mum? 

What I would say is spend as much time as you can with her now and enjoy the time you do have, continue to make more memories. 

Here if you want to talk.

I’m sorry for your loss and thank you very much for the advice! X

I’m sorry for your loss, and yes they said the best option was chemo she did go through with it but exactly two days after she got really unwell and got sepsis and pneumonia with only a 5% chance of living so she’s scared of trying the chemo again. She’s recently tried to radiotherapy which hasn’t affected her badly but we haven’t received the results yet so fingers crossed it’s helpful! Thank you for the advice :)

It’s great that they’re giving her treatment, hope the radiotherapy goes well. And if it doesn’t work out there is a treatment called immunotherapy which has had good results for some people so maybe that will still be an option too? 

As long as your mum is still having treatment there is still hope so be positive and hold on to that!
