Can you help me?

Sorry to hear you're struggling, Luna.
How are you today?

[Harbour]

Hey chick, how are you doing now?

[Bellatrix]

Love you. Let us know how you are xx

[MunchBox]

How are you doing, lovely?

Thank you for the care and support.

I have another thread in general. I should probably stick to one but I don't know which.

Things are very difficult.
On sunday I found out that my dad has bowel cancer which has spread to his liver. The last few days have been very difficult and I'm very worried about my family.

Things are really hard at the moment.
Struggling.

What's going on? How's your Dad and the rest of your family?

I just feel really low and overwhelmed and scared.

My dad is in a lot of pain and he's lost a lot of weight. He had a scan yesterday and he has an appointment on the 11th to find out more about whether the cancer has spread anywhere else. He starts Chemo on the 15th. He's trying to stay positive.

My mum is being amazing, she's just so strong. I worry about her though, I worry about all of them.

I'm scared about Monday and I'm scared about what lies ahead.

I had an appointment with the obstrician this morning and I've been booked in for an induction in a few weeks. It wasn't what I had planned so, although I'm excited, I'm also very very nervous and I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all.

I'm very isolated at the moment. It's hard spending a lot of time alone with very few people to talk to. Mood is really plummeting.

I feel the lowest I have felt in a long time. Where it hurts to breathe.
I don't know how long I can carry on like this.

I’m so sorry you are feeling like this. I don’t have the words, but I do have hugs. *hugs*

I can relate to the feeling of everything being so painful that you don't know how long you can carry on in this way. I sometimes try to remind myself that maybe I don't really want to carry on but I probably can, and that things change with time, although knowing that you can struggle on but don't want to can also be hard to cope with. Is anything making things even a little easier and giving you brief periods of respite?

[[Luna]]

Thank you both.

I'm still feeling very low. Mornings are very difficult. As soon as I wake up I feel so anxious, on the verge of a panic attack at the thought of having to face another day.

Today has been extremely challenging. My step son's behaviour has been pretty appalling and I've found it very difficult to cope with. I've been worried about my dad and my family a lot today, knowing he gets the rest of his result tomorrow. I've been in quite a stressy mood all day.

We went for a meal this afternoon for my brother in law's birthday and my wife's dad felt it appropriate to ask about my dad's treatment loudly across the table in a pub. Luckily my wife shut him down quickly but I was blown away by how inconsiderate it was. He made me feel extremely awkward and there was no tact about a horrible, painful situation me and my family are going through. I'm still feeling quite angry about it actually.

[[Luna]]

I’m tired and scared.
