Mum has just been told her she has terminal cancer

Mum has felt really ill since last year but over the last few months her random cough has turned really violent she's been throwing up has no energy no appetite and is in significant pain

She was a nurse and went off sick on Feb 2021 this year

I see my mum at least twice a week every week but since she's been off I've spent so much time with her so I knew there was something really wrong

We were told on Wednesday that she has incurable cancer and we find out this week how long she has to live

I'm 28 have suffered with depression for around 14 years and my brain just can't process this information my mum is my whole world she's my best friend and I don't understand or want to imagine a life without her

Where so I begin to cope?

The only positive I feel is that spiritually I know I'll be with her in another life but this thought still isn't enough to get past the physical and emotional pain I'm feeling it's beyond words

Thanks x

  • Thank you

    she starts chemo tomorrow which has given her and us all a boost she's very strong willed so we all just have to stay positive with her as hard as it is

    surprising how strong you can become in a situation like this

  • I had to shave her hair off last week due to chemo and she hadn't washed it for two weeks as she was scared it would all fall out so it was completely matted and all came off in one go it looked like a wig, which was extremely traumatic but I didn't want anyone else to do it

    She has a scan 3rd Sept to see what the chemo has done fingers crossed we get some good news but I'm not getting my hopes up at all still waking up in disbelief that this is all happening :(
