So my bfs mum has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Everyone is obviously devastated by the news but taking it one step at a time. We've got a couple of weeks wait for a scan to confirm diagnosis and treatment plan. Realistically I don't see there being a positive outcome though and my heart is breaking for my bf, his family and the life we had planned.

I know that the only thing I can do right now is be there for my bf and his family but I'm so worried about the future. We were planning on getting married and having children in the next few years but at the moment it feels unbearably sad to contemplate this.

I'm naturally a very emotional person but I realise that I can't be crying about this to my bf so this is really just a rant about how unfair life is and a request for any small light at the end of the tunnel that anyone can offer. The next few months (probably years) are going to be so hard.

Possibly you should ask this to be put into the "Life-limiting Illness thread". Not to be technical, but your BF's mum is still here and you may get more traffic on that thread.
