mum has sarcoma cancer, help? - Cancer Message Board

september 2006 my mum had a huge tumour removed from her leg with a course of radio afterwards. it was then diagnozed to be sarcoma which is quite a rare kind. a year on and it has got into her blood steam and trvelled straight to her lungs with about 11 in total. she has now started chemo and has lost her hair which to me was hard.not only have we had this to deal with but also my brother having depression and overdosed twice now. im finding it heart braking dealing with all of this and its totally changing the person in me. i have become so angry and frustrated at every little thing and everyone who means something to me. i guess its just a reaction to the thought of losing mum but its just not me.is it normal to act this way? is it normal to push people away who mean the most???
fairly mixed up!!

karwin, i'am sorry you and your family are going through this. i have metastaic lung cancer and i think sometimes it is harder on my family than me. have you thought of seeking support from a group or a counselor. i know it is not for everyone but some find it very helpful. you have a awful lot on your plate right now . i will keep you and your family in my prayers -i wish you brighter days ahead.......melissa
