    Hi Lauz84, and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear that your auntie's cervical cancer has come back. It's normal to feel angry and upset, and many people who use this forum will be able to relate with this. It's good that you're expressing how you feel here, it's a safe space for you to talk to us when you need to. Do you have someone - a family member or friend - that you can talk to in the outside world, too? 

    If you'd like to have a look around the forum, you'll see other people who've posted recently about their family, and coping with the uncertainty cancer treatment can bring. Please feel free to join in with discussions, and keep in touch. 

    Best wishes,

    Helen
