I was the sole carer for my mother when she got cancer, one of the biggest eye openers for me was those you expect to be there for you werent and those you LEAST expect to be there and help out whether emotionally or physically were there, my mother has passed now, it was a very intense year or so and am glad shes now at peace no more suffering

Is it normal to not feel any emotion after finding out that your friend has cancer but than again I do just have late reactions and I’ll probably realise what’s happening a bit more later

Having no support with uterus cancer from sisters or children maybe they don't realize it's not just a cancer / hysterectomy at age 70 or it's because it's not them but I'm in this pony show by myself 100%
