Hi Rose  just to say cancer doesn't just hurt the one with it, it hurts all the family, alot of friends and family suffer as well as you've found out, if ever you need to talk your welcome hopefully others will join you soon, to help, with any information I'm non curable have been for over 3 years now so I've an idea what it's like, some of the ladies there's [@Chriss]‍, [@Sandra123]‍ to start with, best wishes. Billy 

Hi rose ...

See our Billy is looking out for you ... well bless ya .. you only have one mum, and no wonder your heart is braking ... you know you don't have to do anything huge to help her .. it's making a cup of tea for her .. sitting just chatting about normal things .. ask her about her childhood .. good days take her for a little meal or coffee in a Costa... sit and watch a film she likes .. go with her to appointments , even if she says not to , you could go and wait outside ...

Just go with your heart .. if she has a low day or even crys ... that's fine .. we all need that ., share tears .. tell her all that's in your heart .. if she wants to talk, listen .. if she doesn't,  that's fine too .. 

You can come on here as often as you like .. writting down feelings will help .. we've all been there .. we've all been touched by cancer ... it's like a safe place for feelings ... 

Sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie  

Hi

Sorry to read your post about your Mum.

Amost 5 years ago I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. I had surgery and that was that.

After just over 3 years I started having symptoms and found out it was back.

Again I had more surgery followed by chemo and my latest CT and colonoscopy were ok.

Just thought this would give you hope, although you have this to deal with again, you've been there once and got through it so you sort of know what you have to do this time.

xx

Thank you [@Billygoat]‍ , [@Chriss]‍ and [@Ineedabreak]‍ it's very comforting to know that even know we've never met there are people who understand exactly what my family and I are going through. My mum and I are looking forward to going to a Hotel Chocolat lock in on Thursday and going to our local zoo on Friday, we had arranged to do these things a while ago but it will be nice to enjoy them before my mum may feel to unwell to enjoy tasting chocolates, having a glass of prosecco and walking around and looking at all the animals.

Thank you x

Sounds just what the Dr ordered ... how wonderfull ... 

Sinse my cancer diagnosis,  ive just taken every day and take each day as a bonus and a blessing ..

All my family just go along with how I feel .. and I've packed a lifetime of memories sinse .. and I find something to smile about every day.... so have as much fun while you can ... and just go with the flow ..

Your totally amazing ... don't think you realise how lovely you are .. always here if times get hard .. Chrissie x
