Re: panicking shut-in-in-training freaking out

I am so sorry, anon. This would be one hell of a challenge even if you didn't have anxiety issues, etc. to deal with at the same time.

If you don't mind the suggestion, you might ask your mother's doctor if they can hook you up with any local cancer/lymphona support groups. If nothing else, you'll meet people who'll be in similar situations who know what you're going through. Social media is great for many things, but in cases like this, having a friend who lives in your town can be invaluable support.

I think you might feel a bit better and would be able to be of more help to your mother if you worked on building up a support system of your own. If you're religious at all, a church might be a good idea. If not, it might be more of a challenge but it'd probably help.

I apologize if this is grim but... make sure your mother's affairs are in order in terms of DNR orders or a living will, just so she can make her wishes known on that subject. Just in case. Also in terms of her actual will, and funeral arrangements. You don't want to be struggling with those decisions when the time comes.

And lastly, be kind to yourself. These illnesses aren't just tough on the people with cancer, they're incredibly hard on the people who care for them, too. I'm so sorry, and I hope you'll come back and update us on how you're both doing.
