My mum has uterine cancer and had a massive operation 1.5 years ago to remove her uterus, ovaries, spleen, part of her stomach, her upper instenstine.
She has been on a treatment called "ivastine" for about 8 months (last few months coming up)
She is really depressed- she wakes up crying every day, panic attacks every day, sometimes sits rocking in the corner, sometimes won't get out of bed.
I just want to know if this is normal for someone who's had an uterine cancer diagnosis? She is insisting the cancer is going to come back within a year and is incredibly anxious about it. She is also insisting that uterine cancer is much worse than any other kind of cancer because of the rate of re-occurance.
I don't know what's "normal depression" and grieving after having a diagnosis of uterian cancer and what's more of a longer term mental health problem.
I'd really like to know if any other families are dealing with the same kind of behaviour from their parents/sisters etc or whether this seems more of a serious mental health condition. Anyhelp would be great xx
