So I posted here back in Feb when my mum was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. My mum is undergoing chemo (until around October) and seems to be doing ok.

Last week I found out my grandmother (mum’s mum) had just been diagnosed with the same cancer as my mum (seriously, what are the odds?). She is over 80, so although we don’t know the stage yet, we know treatment is limited (drs have ruled out chemo).

I am really close to my grandmother and I just don’t feel like I can cope with this. I swing drastically from being ok and organising everything to feeling so overwhelmed that I’m going to suffocate.

I know it’s so stupid but I’ve been TTC for 5 years and it keeps playing in my head that they may never meet my children (if I ever have any). My grandma in particular has always been super keen for me and my Husband to have children.

I don’t really know why I’m posting here, but I don’t really have anyone to talk to. Any advice on how to handle these feelings?
