I'm so sorry. My 60 year old grandmother was recently diagnosed with cancer as well. This is a hard place to be for our whole family as we struggle to help her however we can while feeling powerless and scared ourselves.

Hi sophiesmom,
I'm really sorry you got that news  I can imagine you must be feeling a lot of things right now...........shock, despair, hopelessness, disbelief, depression............but please try not to close yourself off from talking about your feelings, from talking about the situation, from support, right now. It can be so tough to go through something like that alone, well it's never "easy", but please remember we're here for you when you're able to talk......... And sending you hugs: Alison |

Thank you so much everyone. It means a lot to me.
Both parents have some form of it. 2 of my moms 4 sisters had it. Grandparents had it. DH's dad had it. All really good people. |

Hi sophiesmom,
Things like that can make zero sense/like there's no justice, right?? But, while I so wish you didn't have to go through this, it can still remind you how precious life can be........maybe there are some things you want to tell her e.g. how much she matters, things you appreciate about her, talk about happy or notable memories, maybe even there are some questions from the past you'd like to ask.........even if the prognosis is good, I don't know, something like this can be a wake-up call to add more "meaningful" moments in relationships. I know a diagnosis like that is never going to feel good (!!) but those are maybe things you can hold onto But it's all the unknown that hits you as well, right?? And the "what if's" or "maybe's"........., so if you need to maybe try working on one day at a time, the next day..........well you can deal with that as it comes.........always good to be a bit prepared for what might happen e.g. effects or treatments...........but sometimes you just need to focus on one day at a time............. And talk (or write!!) about anything/everything if it might help.........it can be good to get feelings out..........and there are no "wrong" feelings at a time like this..........just allow yourself to express whatever you need to And, sorry if this sounds ridiculous..........but self-soothing and self-care can sometimes be real important too..........so if you have anything that might work just a little for you..........music.........anything distracting or comforting...........go for it!! And sophiesmom..........you will make it through this!! Alison |
