Hi Tinker, welcome to the forum, but sorry for why you're here. You don't say how old you are, or what other members of your family may be around. Having a parent with cancer is very upsetting no matter how old you are, but young people don't really know how to reach out for help. Not talking about something like this is not helpful, but still some people just can't bring themselves to open up for it. It sounds like you're the type of person who needs to talk about this and that's a healthy thing to do. Do you have a trusted friend or relative that you can reach out to, or perhaps your family doctor can help you with this.

In any case, you've come to the right place here on this forum to get some support and just write down your worries and concerns. People on here are very caring and supportive and great listeners, so come on here anytime. Let us know how you are getting along and take care of yourself.

Lorraine

Thanks Lorraine. 

I'm 25. I have 1 brother who won't open up and a half brother who's mom also died of cancer a couple of years ago so I don't want to upset him. 

I can talk to my husband but he just keeps saying it will be ok, don't worry yet. That doesn't really help. 

I do talk to my mom and she is getting me an appointment with her Macmillan nurse to have a chat.

the issue is I'm in my first year of primary school teaching so working 70 hours a week isn't helping the issue as it doesn't leave much time for stuff. 

Mom on has a scan on Monday to check if the cancer has spread and a bone density scan on Friday to see if it's oestierperosis then gets her results in 23rd so it's a waiting game.
