Hello Sue and thank you for posting.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation but I’m glad that you decided to join.

It’s clear you’ve reached a tough and deeply personal point, and I want you to know that you’re not alone.

You’ve shown real courage in sharing both the physical challenges and the emotional burden of living on your own. Your sons sound wonderful, offering support every day, but it’s completely understandable that life feels overwhelming right now. It’s okay to feel that your quality of life isn’t where you want it to be, and you deserve care that covers the complete picture.

Please know you don’t have to face this alone. I genuinely hope you’ll meet others here who’ve been in a similar place and can share their experiences and encouragement so you don’t have to walk this path in silence.

If you ever feel like you need to talk to someone straight away, you can contact the Samaritans on 116 123, they are available 24 hours a day, every day, and there’s no pressure or judgement, just someone to listen.

Last but not least, if you fancy a chat or simply need a space to share, this place is here for you.

With kind thoughts,
Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
