hello to all you incredible people on here ! this is my 3rd day on here and i only just did figure that i can introduce myself to the forum and more important to everyone on here.
this is not about me (a 53 yr old mum) but about my 28yr old daughter !
last friday she had the C BOMB dropped on her and after dealing and coming to terms with that, her husband made the call to us (her parents) here in Denmark (our daughter is in the UK but we did move to DK nearly 5yrs ago). to make all this even more worse, our daughters husbands father has been diagnosed with a brain tumor only a few weeks ago !! so our daughter is just at the beginning of this journey and you all will know only too well, HOW overwelming all this is… strange unfamiliar medical terms, info overload, waiting for results, trying not to search the minefield of the net, panic, fearing the worst… the list is endless. i know that im not directly confronted with a diagnosis and i certainly not in any position to give advise , or share experiences BUT i can give mental support !!! so please if anyone out here, needs to talk , share or just someone to be there , i CAN and will try to give a little bit back to everyone on here, who have done so incredible much to help me… and im only since 3 days using this forum !
much love, strength and positivity to you all !!! never give up hope and the fight !

Best way to get through this is to talk to people who understand , there’s no way to explain the anxiety fear rollercoaster ride to people who haven’t been on it !!
I’m 10 years post diagnosis this year and I am still in touch with the people I met through this forum and supported me through treatment - we still support each other and understand in a way others who’ve not been through cancer can not .
Thank you for offering to be there for others - that’s how this forum works . Best wishes to you and your family x
