Thanks guys! Really appreciate the support. I'm so sorry to here about your parents, and I hope not for a long time that I will have to write that. I recently reached out for respite, the local health centre shouted me a night in the grampians, which was awesome. So relaxing and gave me the time i so needed to get my head around things. It's been a while now, I feel a lot stronger than I did when I wrote this blog. We have a house cleaner, and that's great, but most like you guys everything else is pretty much up to me. We don't have many family in this town, but the family and friends we do have is incredible, a lot of support. I think I'm just stubborn sometimes, I don't accept peoples help because "no it's right, I can do it on my own', and I need to learn that I just can't. I've definitely considered calling the cancer council hotline, I'm actually looking forward to it. A couple of weeks ago I organised a fundraiser day for the cancer council, relay for life. I shaved my head, we had auctions raffles and spinning wheels in a local bar, it was a great day out we raised over 3,700 and I'm now up to 6,000, it made mum so happy! I love to see her happy, its like a weight just falls off my shoulders. Mum and I are doing the relay, it's in two weeks 🙂 I'm hoping shes up to it :) Thanks guys xxx ... View more

Hi miss Molly, Sounds like yr doing a great job with yr mum. You are so young to be going through this! I am going through this myself, my mum has just been diagnosed in January with stage IV lung cancer with secondary to the bones. I am also caring for my mum, she has moved in with us. I know how u feel about not knowing what is the right thing to do all the time. It is hard. Have you got your own support network, people you can talk to if you need to? It is really hard also because you don't know what to expect, what's coming next. Hang in there, take each day one day at a time and enjoy the days where your mum is feeling ok. ... View more
