Hi Louise i know wot u mean it's so hard there's no recipe i think one day at a time im here if u need to talk

I'm in the same situation, it's so hard.  

Mum was diagnosed as terminal last week, to be honest right now i'm just going through the motions.

We have been on this journey since March when Mum was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, she had full Whipples, we nearly lost her during the surgery but it did get rid of the cancer. Sadly for Mum it has already returned.

All I can say is take all the help you are offered, lean on your friends and loved ones who are not directly involved, CRY (it really does help), and keep busy. My work have been brilliant, I can have all the time I need to help Mum, but also need to go to work to give me something else to think about !!!

Big hugs to you and your Mum xx

Hi sorry to hear you r going through this. The best advice is just be there for your mum, listen when she wants to talk or rant. My mum sadly died 18 months ago from cervical cancer. It's hard watching somebody close to you go through this. My dad last Xmas was told he had bowel and lung cancer. Thankfully they operated this yr to remove the bowel cancer and turns out the lung cancer was a infection. It's been a tough old time but just being there will mean so much to your mum. X

Thanks Sandy x

Thanks for the reply and advice. I think you're right in being there when needed just some days are so heartbreakingly tough. Sorry to hear you have had such an emotional time x

I'm so sorry to hear of your heart breaking time. I do talk and I do cry and also take help as offered but my mum is very reluctant to accept support outside of the family. Supporting my mum emotionally and watching her health deteriorate is the hardest challenge I've faced. 

I wish you, your mum and family all the best. Love and hugs xx
