Partners, family and friends

My name is Tara and I came here because Cancer has affected my family in the last 18 months.

Hi everyone

I found the Cancer nurse, and a parent of a cancer survivor so helpful this week.
After a painful session with a Psychiatrist about my depression and why after 5 years ( my daughter now has 5 year all clear from NHL) I still cant let it go, I rang the helpline in despair and they were so helpful. Would you believe that I am normal??? And my feelings about letting go are normal???
I don't think that people on the other side of the planet, i.e, non-cancer people, can ever get it, no matter how learned they are.

My beautiful dad come home to us last Tuesday after 12 weeks in hospital, on Wednesday mum cared for dad during the day while I was at work,when I got home from work dad was very unwell, high temp, laboured breathing, I called the CNC & he suggested we take him to the ED at JHH, we arrived at 8pm, they were amazing, on arrival dads temp was 39,pulse 178,oxygen level 80%,started dad on antibiotics, done all tests. Dads stomach peg was infected so at 1st they thought that was the problem,after xrays they discovered dad had pneumonia.

Hello, I'm new here and feeling a bit confused by my mum's diagnosis and treatment.
Around 10 days ago mum hemorrhaged and went to emergency where she was admitted and a biopsy was performed. A few days later she got the news that she had uterine cancer but, as it was her first sign of symptoms, we assumed it would be stage 1. Well, today we found out that it's stage 2, which isn't the worst news but it's worse than we were expecting.
