Just got the dreaded news that my moms cancer has spread to her spine and it’s untreatable. She’s only 49.
I’m having such a hard time to deal with the news about my mom. She’s been poorly since around March and got progressively worse.
The 5cm mass on her pancreas (although not confirmed pancreas cancer, doctors think it’s breast cancer that started on the pancreas.. I didn’t even know this was a thing) has now spread to the spine. She has a fracture but her strength in her legs and arms are brilliant.
we are now waiting for the next step… it seems it will be radio and to see if that helps.
I am feeling so numb and I don’t know how I’m going to do this again. We lost my beautiful aunt to breast cancer 4 years ago now my mum is having to go through the same thing.
My mom is my world and I’m scared this is going to break me.
Not sure of the point in this post but I feel so alone and I know people on here might understand how I’m feeling.

Hi D_K
This is an incredibly painful place for you to be in. I am sad that you have to go through it. Your mom sounds like a really good mom, and you will always have her love in your heart.
Please dont feel alone, I would like to hear about your mom. What was she like before this horrible illness. What is one of the things you both like to do together?
I am here, you are not alone xx

Anything and everything. She’s my best friend. We would arrange meals and drinks before Covid.
Just sit eating toast at home.
We speak throughout the day. Non stop. She’s my best friend.

Hello,
I am very sorry that you are going through this.
I lost my mam to Breast Cancer when she was 49. I lost my Dad to Liver Cancer two years ago.
As a child watching your parents go through this and then eventually die is horrible, it breaks your heart into a million pieces. I wont pretend that this is not going to be a very hard path for you, there will be days when you want to world to swallow you up, but I promise you that you will find strength that you didnt know you had and you will get through it.
I cant really say anything that will make you feel any better, because there probably isnt anything but a little bit of advice from experience, spend every possible minute that you can with your Mam, tell her everything and anything, laugh and cry together!
One thing i wish i had now were more photos to look back on because when the person isnt around anymore photos got me through dark days.
Sending love your way.

Thank you for the reply.
I will spend every moment I can with her when she’s home. We still aren’t allowed to see her as she’s in hospital. It’s killing me. I never go more than 2 days without seeing my mom.
she is ready to fight for as long as she can.
chemo appears to be back on the cards for us after today. So that’s something.

Hi D_K,
I am so sorry that you are going through this.
I lost my mom to breast cancer when she was 58. She was my best friend, mentor, my everything – my world. Tell your mom that you love her everyday. Take photos, talk about everything. Laugh and cry together. Enjoy life.
You and your mother sound very strong.
Sending you love xx

Hi,
It must make it so much harder for you when you aren’t able to just go and visit! I Can’t imagine what that will be like.
definitely something, hold on to every bit of good news you can, and good for her that she is ready to fight! I bet she will give it her all, women are strong 🙂
Good luck in this journey.

I just wanted to give an update as it’s 4am and I’ve been sitting here awake and remembered the kind messages I received on her a few weeks ago.
I lost my mom on Tuesday 22nd. Unfortunately during her time in hospital she caught pneumonia and passed away.
my mom didn’t even get to start her fight but I hope onto the fact I didn’t have to watch her disappear and become half the woman she once was. She still looked like my mom and smelt like my mom and wasn’t in pain.
she was only 49 and life feels so unfair and cruel. She was the most selfless person I’ve ever met. She cared more about others than herself.
I miss her like crazy and now the struggle begins for me, living without her.
thank you for your kind words and support when I needed some hope

Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you. You will experience all kind of emotions in the weeks, months and years ahead. Treasure the times you spent together and know that she is in a better place, free from pain and one day you will meet again. Your mum will always be in your heart, no one can ever take that away.
god bless you. Xx
