Welcome to the forum Belinda although I'm really sorry to read what has happened and would like to offer you my sincerest and heartfelt condolences on your daughter's passing.
I cannot even begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you right now but I just wanted you to know that you are not alone. Sadly [@sadmum]'s son passed away from bowel cancer last year at the tender age of 35, the same as your daughter, and now that I've mentioned her in this post she will hopefully reply when she can to offer her support and advice and share her experience with you. As I'm sure our other members will do so too.
My thoughts are with you at this time.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
Dear Belinda, I am sorry that I did not see your post and have just seen that Moderator Steph had mentioned me. I am so so sorry to read that your 35 year old daughter has lost her battle with cancer. It is the worst thing that can happen to a mother. My son was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable bowel cancer with full liver mets at the end of April 2016 three weeks before he was due to be married, he had his bowel tumour removed and managed to marry his darling wife on 15 May 2016. He died ten days after his 35th birthday leaving me, his dad and 2 sisters and his wife devastated beyond belief. We are trying to learn to live this new life without him, it is so hard. I still cannot believe that is 19 months since I have seen him and the pain does not go away. I dont think it ever will. We have lost our son, but the remifications of that go on and on. We grieve in different ways, the evil fingers of cancer reach into every aspect of your life and it seems as though everything is tainted. Through the wonders of the oncology department and ivf my daughter in law had a beautiful baby girl october 2017. It is wonderful and my son wanted this to happen, but also so bitter sweet as she will never know him and the influences he would have had. I hope that you and your family find a way to learn to live your lives without your precious daughter. We talk about him all the time and miss him terribly.xx leslie
