Hiya!

i feel like my family don't understand me, I can't tAlk to them about my mums cancer and they say I'm being rude because I don't think about what I say, but the truth is that I can't think because my head is so full up with things. I need help!

  • Hi Naish

    your family are probably having as hard a time of it as you are, and also really don't know how to talk about mum and deal with the situation. Don't bottle up all that stuff in your head though, start speaking about it here, where you are anonymous and mostly you will get a kind listening ear from the fine folks here. Kim

  • Hello, Hope ur ok. I no how you feel but I'm the opposite to you, I'm actually the patient, ur not being rude ur dealing with in ur own way, my twin sister found it hard for a while, but her 8yr old son help her. 

    What thing did u and ur mum do together before she got cancer?

  • Hi Naish,

    Welcome to this friendly forum and I am pleased to see you have allready had some good advice from Kim. I think most families find difficulty talking when one of their loved ones are diagnosed with cancer. At a time when they really need to talk to each other more than ever before, the word cancer seen to cause them to bottle up the words they need to say to support one another and I find this so sad..

    But as Kim has allready said, this is a great community to be a part of where people understand what you are going through for often they have felt exactly the same. Just the simple act of writting down on here how you feel will often help, So please keep in contact.

    Sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way, Brian.
