Just had bad news

craftycat I have no idea what to say to you. I am so very very sorry. You must be beside yourself with grief and worry.
I hope there is some treatment help that can keep her feeling well for as long as possible. The only consoling thought that I can think of is that in having 3 children they will be able to help each other in years to come and that having you and other family close by will help. You must be in total shock.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Craftcat I can only imagine how heartbroken you and your lovely family are. Life can be so cruel at times but remember you will remain strong especially for your son and grandchildren. They are going to need you now more than ever. Treasure the lovely times you have had and will continue to have. Think of ways you can do things together and make more memories. Sending you lots of love xx

Craftycat I have no idea what to say to you, how dreadfully sad for your family

I am so sorry.
We have had a similar sadness in our family when my cousins wife died leaving two young children. They had been given the all clear and then on the next check it was too late. She was only 33 it is heartbreaking.

there is nothing fair about illness at all.

I hope you and your family have some good times together while you can.
Of course you are so sad. At least you are all together and a strong and loving family.
sending you love xx

What horrible news to receive craftycat obviously I can't say anything to make you feel better , I hope she is being monitored so that any problems can be sorted quickly and be well supported within the medical profession obviously family support is always there . Medicine is always moving on so fingers crossed for her and her family ??

Devastating for you and your family. I’m so sorry.

I am so sorry Craftycat sending you hugs and love

I’m so very sorry for you craftycat and for all your family. Devastating news to be given. Your son and daughter in law will be in bits. Not just for themselves but those poor little children. Life can be so cruel can’t it? x

What awful news, craftycat. Let yourself have a good long weep, or several. You will be the stronger for it. Some thing have to be cried about. This is one of them. xxx

That is devastating. No wonder you are desolate. There are no words of consolation.

I am so deeply sorry, you must be in such emotional pain

I send you hugs and love x

You are entitled to weep - this is life at its cruellest - I hope that the medical team can offer her ongoing treatment to keep things stable as long as possible.

All I can off are hugs and my kindest thoughts - so very hard for all of you.

Such devastating news Craftycat - I was a child when my own mother died but was surrounded by loving grandparents which I’m sure, on reflection now, helped massively.

I know that you will be a huge comfort to your grandchildren and will do all that you can to get them through it. Don’t forget to look after yourself in all of this x

How heartbreaking.

Maybe the hospital has a support group?

I'm so sorry Craftycat as it's terrible to get news like this. Go on and have a good cry, you may feel a little more able to cope with it afterwards. The doctors have said that it will spread but don't know when - it could be years from now or sooner. All you can do is continue to put one foot in front of the other and be as helpful as you can. There's nothing fair about cancer, is there?

That is just awful Craftycat. Feel free to vent your feelings on here. The poor family but please be careful because the children will soon pick up vibes that something is wrong and maybe mummy is not very well. {flowers}

Nothing to add to all the above posts, craftycat but sending you love and support.

Use gn to off load if it helps.

What a terrible shock for you all, it’s heartbreaking news. It’s so hard, I send my love and positive thoughts.

Very sorry Craftycat xxx

What awful news. Your world must feel shattered. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so so sorry xx

So sorry for the news.
My son and his (now ex-)wife both had excellent support and counselling from Macmillan nurses when she had cancer which returned. I'm sure they could offer support to you and the grandchildren as well xx

So very sorry to hear your news xx

So sorry to hear about your dear DIL and being three years in remission from cancer, I have a small insight into what you are all going through. My heart goes out to you and your family. Just keep being there and loving them all, that’s all you can do. They are making great strides in the field of cancer treatment and so many more people are living with cancer nowadays. So pleased you are near and can offer practical support as well as love. X
