I just cannot believe it

Hi, I'm fairly new to this forum however I needed somewhere to turn to in reflection of recent events. My family has had some terrible news today... My auntie has been diagnosed with Breast cancer today and my uncle diagnosed with lung cancer.... Words cannot describe how devastated I am that such wonderful young lives have been affected by such a tragic thing. As many of you I'm sure are aware of, the news hits you like a tonne of bricks and nothing in the world would ever be able to help prepare you for it. I wish I could just click my fingers and make everyone fit and healthy so no family at all has to face these horrible circumstances!

 

 

  • Hi Natalie and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to read of the double diagnosis of your aunt and uncle. I think all of us can relate to that feeling of devastation when you either receive a diagnosis yourself, or hear that a family member has Cancer. 

    After the initial shock has worn off and a treatment plan has been discussed, somehow, most of us feel more able to cope once more. Hopefully this will be the same for you and your family once your uncle and aunty have their treatment plans in place. 

    Please come to the forum any time you need to, to ask questions, let off steam or rant! 

    Remember to take care of yourself too. Sending a hug, Jo xx
