She moved in with me and my 2 daughters for 7 months but became to sick to be at home. Now she is 2 hours away in a aged care home. I feel so lost, I dont know how to look forward to the future knowing whats coming. My friends dont understand as theyve never been through anything like this. My heart is breaking and I feel so alone <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:">😞</span> Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:41:53 GMT missbrookie 2013-02-06T03:41:53Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Coping-with-a-loved-one-s-cancer/My-Mum-has-a-terminal-cancer/m-p/10743#M2821 My Mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 11 months ago and my life has changed so much.
