Hello

Sorry for your news, i know exactly how you feel, my mom is my world and she was diagnosed last year with bowel cancer, had an op and everything was ok, until Christmas when we found out it has now gone to the lining of her stomach, my mom is 75.

I work all day and i am constantly worrying about her, constantly phoning herm i lost my dad 4 years ago with the same thing.

You`re not on your own, theres thousands of people out there going through the same things as us, although it can feel lonely,  i often think how am i going to cope when shes no longer here, but you have to be strong for your mom, i often put on a brave face in front of her and cry myself to sleep when i go home.

You`re right, it`s a rollercoaster of emotions.

I`m here if you need to chat

Best wishes for you and your mom

Hi

i know exactly how you are feeling my mum was told on 14th of jan she had lung cancer after having a chest X-ray, for it to get worse after a ct scan she has metastasis melenoma in her bowel lung and was in her leg, tumour removed now. Then for her bowel to be blocked and have emergency surgery to take a part of the bowel away, We are waiting an a plan for treatment although not a cure.we have to be positive.

i just don't know what I'm suppose to do and how I'm suppose to feel I'm a nurse myself and help people every day and I can't even help my own mum.makes me sad.

Hi

Sorry to hear what you are going through, its a tough time but try and stay positive, although i know its hard to do, talking always helps, i`m here if ever you need to chat, get things off your chest, you can pm me anytime
