My first post, I am really struggling with losing my mum, she was diagnosed with lung cancer on the 14th October and she passed away suddenly on the 12th November she didn’t even get to start treatment.
I am so lost and don’t think this pain is ever going to go away, I am struggling mentally she was only 69 she had so much life left I am totally lost

Hi @RhiRhi1981 gosh I feel our situation is so similar. My mum didn’t get diagnosed with lung cancer until the summer, and 4 days before she was due to start treatment, she had a stroke. She fought for a few weeks in hospital to get better enough to have treatment, but then unfortunately passed away. I really struggle with the fact she never even got the chance to start her treatment. It might have gave her many more years alive. I can’t stand that she never got to try it. She really wanted to and was desperate to live. She was also younger, like your mum, with lots of life still to live. I miss her terribly. She passed in September. My mental health is in tatters too. So sorry you’re also going through this. I truly think lung cancer is one of the worst ways to go, it was so awful. I’m lost too, she was my closest family, I feel so alone without her. Here if you ever need to talk xx
So sorry for your loss. 
Lost my dad around the same time and the pain is still raw for me too.

It’s the worst feeling ever isn’t it, we were like best friends saw each other every day without fail I’m just totally lost and don’t know what to do anymore.
I’m so sorry for your loss too 
Why is life so cruel it’s the what ifs, could we have had longer I just don’t know I have so many questions. She was discharged twice from hospital and shouldn’t have been which they’ve admitted I’m just so angry xx

It’s shocking how much medical professionals can let you down. My mum was treated awfully in the hospital. I felt the same as you, my mum was my best friend, my safety and comfort and biggest supporter. It really is so cruel that they left in the way they did and the what ifs are driving me crazy. I’m still in shock tbh and processing it all. I understand your anger. I think we’re going to go through a lot of emotions through our grief

I am here for you if you need to rant and rave because your the only one I’ve spoken to who understands xxx
