Confused

Evening all, 

my mum got diagnosed on Friday and I just can't get my head around it. I'm her only child, we don't know what stage as of yet! 
my mum is my best friend and I need to be strong for her.

do you know if there any groups etc I can talk too?

Thanks

  • Hi Sunshine

    Lots of people on hear to give you advice and support. It's Ok not to be Ok. It's ok to Put a brace face on in her presence or chat to her and cry with her is ok too.
    She may be wanting to confide in you. 

    it's difficult the waiting game for results. Hopefully findin out the results and treatment plan will give you some idea what to expect.

    It's hard supporting a parent through something like this (my mother died aged 66 with Lung cancer 3years ago and Dad died aged 67 with prostate and kidney cancer 8weeks ago )  -but now I'm on the other side (diagnosed with breast cancer last week) and need treatment myself makes me thankful of the support i was to my parents and grateful to my loved ones too.

    Just being there for each other is worth lots

    best of luck - hear if you need a natter

  • Good afternoon, 

    that's good and I'm heading does anyone who need a chat too! Yes I get that but I feel guilty of smiling or laughing when I know my mum is going through something like this. 
     

    wow you must be so strong to go through what you've been through. I'm so sorry for your loss's and this is definitely making you stronger to battle and fight through this.

     

    im doing the race for life this year and i can't wait.

    the only problem is my mum didn't confide in me she chose her sister & now my auntie is like battling with me "im her sister" etc and it's pushing me away if im honest.. they done it with my auntie who passed away 14 years ago didn't tell me she was ill until 2 days before she passed away... and that auntie took over again. 
     

    it's really hard work. 
     

    thanks again.

    Sunshine ️
