Hi all, my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I can’t help but feel really lonely as it’s quite taken quite a mental toll on me. I have a decent support network but still feel so alone as no one can truly understand what it’s like without having gone through it themselves.

I was wondering if anyone was in a similar boat as me, as it would be nice to talk or at least know we have each other to chat about stuff when needed.

I’m 25 f in Wellington but open to making friends with people from anywhere in NZ.

Note - I’ve spoken to cancer society and their clinic is a bit too far so can’t get counselling on top of work. What I’d really like is to make some friends who know what it feels like to be going through this.

Thanks!
