Will I ever feel light and joyful again?
Hello, I am new to this network and have been very inspired by all of the prior posts and advice everyone so kindly offers. My boyfriend is 29 years old... we've been together about a year and a half. When I first met him he told me that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2010 and it was surgically removed,…
I Feel Targeted by Family
My wife is under hospice care now and all of our children are grown and do not live at home. A year ago I decided to take some time for myself during each day. This is basically excercise in the morning. I also am the sole provider for me and my wife. Thus my time with her is limited to afternoons and night. Last night I…
I don't know what to do (20 year old "caregiver")
I'm not really sure where to even start. At the end of January I found out my mom has cancer in her uterus. So they decided to do a hysterectomy and also an exploratory because she had a lump on her stomache below her belly button (this was all on the 7th). I really thought everything would be fine.. The surgeon came out…

Should I leave my mother? Please help!
Hello everyone! I'm new to this site but sure am glad I found it. Maybe you all can shed some light for me. Here's my story: I am 31 years old. I have an amazing boyfriend (finally - been together 4 months and ready to move on). I am currently living at home with my mother whom has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer…
Help?
I am here, looking for someone that is going through something similar, that knows what I'm going through. I have searched the internet looking for online support groups, with little success. Last month my husband was diagnosed with GBM (brain cancer). During surgery to remove the tumor, the doctor just happened to make…
Make a wish
i am the caregiver to my husband with cancer. We are about to start Hospice care, we have three little boys and would like to have one vacation with them before they lose their Dad. Does anyone know of or have used a reputable group who grants these wishes to adults with cancer? Thank you, Wendy
I am losing my mom to cancer
As many others before me - I am losing a parent to cancer. Although she has lived a full life (she will be 74 in March) it saddens me that she fought and won a previous battle with breast cancer 10 years ago, and I have slowly seen it reoccur, attack the lymph nodes and spread, and finally the liver has a growing tumor…
