Guess I'll be on my way.............

I am starting to feel like the unpopular kid at school that no-one wants to associate with.  I came here for some solidarity I suppose.........when you have cancer it feels so lonely, and something that only other folks who are going through can TRULY understand.  It seems very 'cliquey' here and perhaps is not the right forum for me.  A few days ago I asked for some much needed advice and I have not received one reply.  I know that we are all going through our own cancer traumas, and some of us (myself included) are not only dealing with our own illness, we are also trying to care for our partners who are extremely ill, but even so, I have taken the time to answer a few of the posts in the hope that I can be of some assistance, and I am frankly amazed that not one person has even bothered to advise me.  I will look for some company and solidairty elsewhere, this is obviously not the place for me.  To all of those who are suffering, or have loved ones suffering, from this cancer  nightmare, I wish you good luck, love and peace, xxx

  • Hello Violetgirl

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience on this forum and hopefully now you've had a better experience with this community. I definitely appreciated your lovely words on my post.

    I am sorry to hear about your friends experience and her daughter's diagnosis. It's not an easy journey and I hope everyone is doing okay in such difficult times. My mum's at a bad stage, where's she in a nursing home at the end of life and  even asking for drugs to help to living. Hearing it so hurtful but I've never been in such pain to comprehend such request and understand although its difficult. Thankfully this isnt availbable here otherwise it could look different right now and trying to make it a comfortable loving as I can. 

    I hope whatever happens you all find strenght in one another and look after yourself xx

  • Thank you so much Savy.  I was feeling very sad and lonely when I wrote this post, but I have since discovered that there is a very nice community of folks on here who help each other even though they are going through so much trauma themselves.  I am truly sorry about your Mother, I lost my mum to cancer and I know how it feels.  Sending you much love and hugs, and always remember Savy, that YOU are the one who is with your mother in her time of need,  never let anyone in your family try to make you feel you have not done enough........you have truly stepped up to the plate for your Mother, take care, Violet, xx
