Losing Someone to Cancer

This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

Do any of you find yourselves in a kind of state where you feel like the person is simply on a holiday and find yourself on autopilot waiting for them to return?

KT. I know yOur sisters situation sounds scary, but I have known many people, including myself who have been told about an abnormal PAP. I do not know anyone Personally who has been told they have cervical cancer after this scare. When I had my abnormal pap the dr said that most of time the abnormals are because of human error while processing the sample. I will be praying, but I am confident she is just fine.

Hi guys,

I haven't been online here for a while. I've been going through a "good" patch, and by good I mean no extreme panic attacks etc.

However today I got some truly petrifying news. It hasn't been a year since Mum died and today my sister was told that she has abnormal pre-cancerous cells in her cervix after a routine check up. She is only 24 and my big sister and rock, the only family I have left.

Although they have caught this soon on and it is likely she will be fine, just hearing the word "cancer" has completely thrown me. I turned up at work crying and genuinely feel so petrified. Right now I just need anybody to tell me it will all be alright ;'( I'm so so scared and I'm trying to be brave for her.

I'm also going to have a check up next week now because we never found out the primary source for Mum's cancer and now I'm paranoid this might be a generic thing :(

Why are such good and selfless people targeted by this horrible murderous disease :'(

Hi everyone apologies as I am unable to respond in the friend box....will figure it out eventually. To Ron, yes the counseling helps me. I don't think I'd get out much if I didnt go there. The people are very kind and supportive and also grieving. So it helps to know others have made it through! And we will too, eventually-hugs and loving prayers to all of you-

The last three days were so horrible; I just wanted to be out of this world. I was desperate for some relief from the pain. I asked God, please give me strength and grace, am at the end of my rope. I feel so much better today and have been helping clients at work who are so very grateful for my services. There is hope for us, God will give us all grace and strength, even if its on a minute by minute basis. Tomorrow I may be back to square one but today, am happy for some relief

Laura your friends will come around. At the present  time they just don't know what to say to you. I personally  would rather they say nothing .It is better then hearing how are you doing and it will get better. How in hell do they know if it will get better. The pain will always be there. Maybe not quite as bad but it will stay in your heart. So all i say is hang in there and do the best that you can.

Today has been a really bad day. I have felt down all day long. I miss Jon terribly. Everything today has reminded me just how much I am missing. To top it all off, my friends have not been anywhere around. So, I have spent a lot if time crying today.
