Mum and lung cancer

Just over a year ago my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer.
The treatment included radiotherapy to her brain.
It's changed my mum completely, so she has terminal cancer but still
Isn't the person she was.
I'm grieving for someone who's still alive but still don't want her to die.
I don't even really know why I'm posting this.
I can't really talk to anyone because they don't understand.
I don't really

I’m so sorry you’re all going through this.

My Df had two cancers when i was 14. The first he fought, the second changed him (not for the better). Ended up him divorcing my Dm and having another family.

He became nasty (still is). We were trying to support someone we didn’t recognise.

This might resonate.

No advice, but I’ve seen illness change people.

You are caring, but you must also care for yourself.
