Can’t cope

I'm not sure how to even start this as I just can't stop crying.    I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Tuesday although they'd told me a week earlier that he was 98% certain it was. 
My brother was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in December he's now on chemo injections and tablets. 
My mum has had breast and bowel cancer in the last 8 years she's now in remission. 
My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer 18 months ago she's had treatment and mastectomy and was doing really well, she's been poorly for a few weeks and was yesterday diagnosed with a brain tumour which they suspect is cancer. 
Im litrally losing the will to live, I can't stop crying.                       
We all have neurofibromas type 1 which I've now read has a high risk of cancer. I'm a nervous wreck worrying about all my family members. 
How can this word be so cruel to hit so many members of one family in such a short time. I really don't know what to do x

  • Linnymc,

    What a rollercoaster you and your family are on. So much worry, but what an incredibly strong family to be keeping each other going right now. Wrapping my arms around you and sending you love and strength. You are not alone and you will get through this, we all will. Just be kind to yourself and give yourself some time. I'm new to all this, diagnosed Thursday, so currently going through all the emotions and trying to make sense of it all. Here to support always xxx

  • Hi nia 

    sorry to hear about your diagnosis we will all get through this won't we. I'm trying to stay positive for myself and everyone else. How did your family take it. 

    my breast cancer is estrogen positive just waiting for a date for my operation. I've chose not to have a reconstruction to old to care about what my boobs look like as long as it takes the cancer away. What treatment will you be having. 
    Stay strong and we can have a good old moan and vent on here x

  • Hi 

    Thanks for the reply's it's been a long week. 
    My sister had her op today and they've removed all of the tumour she gonna have gamma radio, her op went well and she's back on the ward eating

    I've been for pre-op today got my op on the 9th for a mastectomy, they've said I go back in 3 weeks for results as to what further treatment I will need. 
    if my sister can get through all this I'm pretty sure we all can as well 

    Hope your all keeping well how are you all getting on with your treatment x

  • Hi Linny, 

     

    im getting really fed up, seems like I am being forgotten. 
    everyone else seems to be getting dates and moving forwards I'm 3 weeks post diagnosis and still not even a hint of surgery dates. 
    You will be perfect fine through surgery, your stronger then you think! I wish you all the best for your surgery x 

     

  • Hi Rainbow 

    that doesn't sound good, I thought they had results at the latest 2 weeks, have you rang up and spoke to anyone think you need to chase it up x
