Hi everyone my name is Lynette and I have decided to post because I truly feel like the important people in my life keep leaving me.
Starting with my uncle who died of a sudden heart attack when I was 7 years old, my family seems to be falling apart piece by piece.
My mum was diagnosed with cancer when i was 9 and it was such a difficult thing to try and be a child whilst my mum and best friend was violently ill.
I had to try and do my best to not let the fact that for many months a year every year my mum would be in hospital or sick at home, affect my school work or my attitude.
My mum was the bravest person I know and she fought anything the cancer threw at her but then my favourite aunt (mums sister) was diagnosed with lung cancer she was even more frail than my mum and this seemed to put a lot of stress on her yet they gained strength from each others willingness to battle the disease.
My aunty died within a year of being diagnosed it was very sudden I didn't even know she was as sick as that.
Her passing broke my mums heart and she died 5 weeks later.
I was 16 at the time.
Fast forward till last year when my uncle, again on my mums side is told he may have bowel cancer and has to have several operations. Thankfully a few months ago it was discovered that he did not in facet have cancer it was something else.
I finally felt that some good luck had finally fallen to my family.
Then this week another of my mums sisters just got diagnosed with lung cancer that is untreatable and the doctors can do nothing for her. We are not sure how long she will live and she is just be realistic about her situation. She was married to the uncle who died when I was young.
I just don't understand how this is possible. None of the cancers are hereditary and it just seems like some kind of terrible joke. I am now 20 and still find the loss of my fa,ily members especially my aunt and my mother very hard I don't know how I will cope with my aunt dying, I was wondering if you could spare some kind thoughts or even a prayer because my family and I are in desperate need. Thank you for listening to my ramblings
