Both parents with cancer

I'm really struggling right now my mam has lung cancer and had all her treatment and had good news then the bad news.. she's had all the pallative care she can.. which now I feel like is just a waiting game.

A couple of days ago I get the news my dad may also have lung cancer... we're going for a pat scan on Wed to see in more detail... he also has hardening of arteries... I've cut myself off from the world I cannot deal or know how to... its such a lonely place 

  • Hello karengolden12

    I'm so sorry to hear that your Mum has recently had bad news about her treatment and that now your Dad is also facing a cancer diagnosis. It's very understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed and struggling at the moment. 

    It's important that you get some support during this difficult time. Please speak to your GP who will be able to help and will know what support services may be available locally. Alternatively, you can contact your local Maggie's centre. There's lots of support available for friends and family of those who have been diagnosed with cancer. 

    I hope that your Dad's PET scan next week brings some reassuring news for you all. Keep in touch and let us know how you're doing. 

    Best wishes,
