My mum was diagnosed with cancer on Monday, she is going for a biospy tomorrow to find out how bad it is before starting chemo. So far I have lost a majority of my family to cancer all of whom never really recovered once starting chemo. I cant help feeling I have lost my mum already, I only have my mum, dad,hubby and children left.... I dont knowhow I would cope without my mum

Thanks for reading, I dont know who to talk to x
 
I am going through the same thing with my Gran but she is in hospital and we don't know what's going to happen and when. She refused treatment.
Loads of vibes and (((hugs))) for whole family - PM me if you want to talk :) x

Your mum is getting all the help and treatment she needs and positive thinking works wonders :) Keep her spirits up, when she's feeling down, take some silly pics of your children to show her and little things like that, keep her smiling.
Take care of yourself too and PM offer is always open - I may toddle off to Macmillan now and have a looksee at that x
 
Hugs and vibes your way my dear! Where is the cancer?
I know exactly how you feel, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in June, we are on our second chemo session and she is sure the tumour has shrunk already :eek: We have four more chemo sessions to go, breast off, then a month of radiotherapy :sigh: I can't believe it really, she's only 48, I'm 16 and my brother 17, my dad has been fab around the house but mostly it has fallen on me, am sad about that really, your family will pull together and help!
Just remember how much treatment has come on in past years and concentrate on getting her better, avoid stress and arguments around her, she will have enough on already. I know you don't know me but am here if you need someone to talk to, even if I am a terrible teenager :p I do know exactly what you're going through though, once again, >>>hugs<<<
 
Thank you everyone, mum had the biopsy today and is ok in herself, we just have to wait for the results. She has a growth in the womb area but also shadows in one lung and her lymphglands. The biopsy should show how aggresive and what type of chemo she will need........... waiting again now!
Thank you again, being an only child does make me feel very alone sometimes, my kids are all under 4 so spend most the day falling out with each other!!!
Least I have the ponios to talk to x
 
I also know how you are feeling :( . My mum has been fighting cancer for the past two years. I am also an only child and it has been very hard at times. Firstly getting over the initial shock of being told she has cancer and then giving her support throughout the chemo. My mum has had 2 full courses of chemo, a big operation and the tumors have shrunk but are still there. At the moment she is just being scanned regularly to keep an eye on things but now all the chemo drugs are out of her system she is feeling quite well for the first time in 2 years :). Try to stay positive and also make sure you look after yourself as your mum will need you to be well to help her through this.

Big hugs x x
I understand how you are feeling having been in the same position with my Mum, Dad and other close family. It hurts so much but you have to try to stay strong. Finding out is the worse thing ever, I though my world had ended but you will find you will cope.
I found great comfort in a forum on Macmillan Cancer web page. Im not sure if it is still there but it was a great help being able to talk to other people going through the same.
Take care x
 
Awwww how awful, sending many positive vibes to you and your mum! Don't start thinking you've lost her already, cherish every moment you have for her, and people do recover from cancer, my best friends dad had cancer - there was a 75% chance he would die, he battled with it for 3 years, but came through the other side and is now fit, healthy and happy again. HUGSSSSSSS xxxx
