My sons wont talk to each other

I have recently been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. As regards my treatment things are moving at a good pace and i have a Lumpectmey on 9th Jul. My main family support are my 2 sons. They have not spoken to each other in 20years but inevitably they will meet up sooner rather than later. One lives 200mls away and the other about 10 mins drive. There was a mix up in who was coming when, the one who lives furthest (R) arranged with his boss to have a week off and come and stay.  The other one(D) also arranged to take the week off. Now he is furious because his brother is coming to stay.  So D was cross and moaned about inconvenience to him. Marched. Out of the house saying he would see me Monday night. It's so unfair to expect me to be their communication hub when I have so much on my mind. I feel like no one cares and they are shrugging this off as "its only breast cancer, no problem, it can usually be fixed quite quickly". I've wept buckets this afternoon, i feel so alone and scared

Apologies for the long post. Thankyou for taking time to read it. Xx

 

  • I'm so glad to hear all is going well with you, hope your sons are looking after you. I'll be thinking of you on 18th.

    My son is halfway through his treatment, it's been a rocky road so far, because of where the cancer is, he's in a lot of pain, and has to take morphine. He cannot eat, and has everything through the peg, which is very uncomfortable,

    On the plus side, he can feel the cancer is shrinking, and we can see it is. The Macmillan nurse told him they scan it once a week during treatment, and confirmed it is indeed shrinking. So not all doom and gloom

    Take care and stay in touch x
