First timer

Hi this is my first time here. Obviously I’m not here because I want to be, just like all of you I’m sure. I am here because today I find out if the tumour in my mums bowel is malignant. The doctors say it almost certainly is. Also there is a shadow on her lung and although they won’t investigate that until after the bowel, none of this sounds good. I don’t know how I feel right now. I’m writing this as I’d write any message so don’t think anything is sinking in yet. All I know is whatever happens I’m going to need people to talk to. I have no siblings & my parents rely heavily on me. Therefore knowing this forum is here is comforting. Thanks for reading. 

  • Hi [@LisaJF]‍ 

    I am sorry to read of the circumstances that brought you here. However, this is a friendly community and a good place to talk with people who are going through similar experiences.

    Like you, I also have no siblings, so that's something I can relate to only too well. I'm also a relative newcomer, but in the short space of time that I've been using this forum, it has proven to be an absolute Godsend.

    The best advice I can give is to take each day at a time, which I know can be easier said than done.

    Sending you virtual hugs. x
