How to cope when your mom lied about her cancer diagnosis?

It sounds incredibly difficult to navigate these complex feelings of hurt and confusion while also dealing with such a serious health situation. When trust feels broken during an already overwhelming time, it can be hard to know how to move forward in the relationship. Many caregivers find it helpful to remember that people sometimes withhold information as their way of trying to protect loved ones, even when it doesn't feel protective. Consider reaching out to a counselor who specializes in family dynamics during illness - they can provide strategies for rebuilding communication and processing these challenging emotions.

Your mom may not have known you could be with her during chemo because on my first treatment my daughter and grand daughter was with me but was asked to wait in the waiting room but it turns out because it was so full with no available chairs but that was not told to us. As time past. I realized that. I hope you and your mom can get past this because you do need each other for support. Pray for strength and understanding. Wishing you both peace and healing.

Your mother needs you right now. She was trying to protect you believe it or not She doesn’t need you to be mad at her. She’s going through enough please be her strongest supporter going forward. You only have one mother. Please be there for her. This is when she needs you most.❤️

I called the dr office after her surgery. They told us she could have guest. She and my dad have done this almost every time. Then they get mad at us for not knowing. Im learning its a narsarasistic thing on her part. We are just supposed to know and if we don't we get the slient treatment. She had cussed out my brother who bends over backwards for her,2 of my daughters. They called to check on her she said im fine. Then cussed them all out because they didn't know she was fine. She actually told my one daughter why are you here. I myself have cancer for the 2nd time.

If you yourself have cancer you may need to take a pause. You do not need the stress. Believe me I know. My mom is suffering from dementia and I am her caregiver. And I have cancer and it does affect my healing. I have a hard time not always being the primary Caregiver but U may have to soon based on my recent test results.
