My wonderful mum

[Ironess]

This is my first post.
And one I don't want to write.
My wonderful, wonderful mum has king cancer and I don't know what to do.

She survived breast cancer 25 years ago and now this.

My children adore her and I'm so so scared.

Not really sure what I wanted to achieve from this but it's the middle of the night and I just want this to be not happening.

No advice but I couldn't let your post go unanswered. I hope both you and your mum have somebody to lean on during the tough times ahead. Best wishes and hugs to you both. xx

I'm so sorry. Sending you all love and strength.

So sorry. I remember the terror when my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. Holding your hand

Seeing a loved one being diagnosed with cancer is terrifying, really terrifying. My heart goes out to you. Has your mum been given much information about treatment etc. at this stage? Sometimes it can feel less scary when you know what the 'plan' is and it feels like something's happening.

You sound like a lovely daughter, and I expect you'll want to be there for your mum and do everything you can to support her. Have you got someone who can support you in real life too? Someone you can offload your worries onto a bit? If you have a Maggie's Centre near you, they can be a fantastic support; they're for friends and family too. Sending you a massive unmumsnetty hug.

It is such a difficult time when your mum is diagnosed, especially after beating one bout of cancer, it seems to feel even more unjust.

I hope you have good friends around you, and don't be afraid to lean on them, you need to look after yourself as well as your wonderful mum.

I couldn't agree more with a PP who asked if you know what treatment is being offered, full details of what to expect and supporting organisation for both your mum and yourself. Once you get all the information you need, you may feel a little bit more in control.

It is such a tough time, sending strength and good wishes.

I went through this last year with my lovely DM. It's horrible, I wish you all the strength you need to get through it.

Thank you all so much for replying.
We're still in the limbo stage, waiting for all the other tests to be done.

I'm lucky enough to have wonderful friends and family who are helping me through.

It's just the early hours when your mind is racing.

Thank you again and so sorry to the other people who have had to go through this.

Cancer is a bastard xx
