Mum diagnosed with stage 4 cancer

My mum has been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung CA and has been told that the only treatment that can be offered is chemotherapy to try and prolong her life. I'm absolutely devastated and obviously want to support her in the best way that I can. If anyone has any helpful words of support please can you message me, thanks

  • Hello jojocrayon, and first of all may I say how sorry I am about your Mum and also what you yourself are going through.  I nursed my Mum when she was dying of cancer, so when I say that I know exactly how you feel, I truly do.  It is a devastating experience.  Tell your Mum that if there is anything at all that she needs from you, to just ask.  Just by being with your mum, you are supporting her.  Please remember to tell your Mum how much you love her, because I have always regretted that I never told my Mum how much I loved her when she was dying.  In fact, say everything that you need to say.  You might be wondering how you are going to cope, but you will find an inner strength that you never realised you had.  Sending love and virtual hugs, Violet, x

  • Thank you so much for responding and for your kind words. I'm so sorry for your loss. Just talking with someone helps and is a comfort so thank you for that x
