Hello Hoopxx, 

A warm welcome to Cancer Chat. I am so sorry to hear that your mum has been given weeks to live. It is normal to feel if you were already grieving because you know that she is terminally ill. This is making you feel numb but you are right to try and keep things normal even though it is really difficult for you to do so. 

It must be so hard to have all this happening when you are meant to be getting married in August and it's completely understandable that you are not in the mood right now to focus on your wedding. You've come to the right place though to talk to others who understand exactly how you are feeling at the moment. Many on the forum will be able to relate to what you are going through and I hope they will be along shortly to share their stories with you. 

Keep strong Hoopxx and feel free to come here anytime you need to offload! 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi Iam new to this site. My Mum had bowel cancer last year and had surgery to remove half her bowel we were told it was a gold star operation and they removed more bowel than they needed to. But she felt unwell after Christmas and ended up in hospital with a really nasty gallbladder infection, they scanned her and found the cancer had returned in her bowel and she had mets in her liver we have been told she has weeks left and I can't come to terms with it . I lost my dad 7 months ago to prostate cancer can't believe this is happening again. Sorry for the rant

I'm sorry [@daisydog]‍ I read your post and it made me really sad. The fact you've just lost your dad 7 months ago and your mum has been told this is so devastating. All I can say is I'm thinking of you, and sending strength to you at this time. Lots of love xxx

Sending you strength [@daisydog]‍ during this difficult time.

I lost my Mum to lung cancer on 15th May and my Dad has also passed so I can empathise with losing both parents.

I hope you have people around you to supper you right now and I'm here if you need to talk/vent.

Thinking of you and sending virtual hugs x
