She's 31 weeks pregnant and will be having a c-section tomorrow, after that she'll be in recovery but the plan is to start radiotherapy because the cancer at the top of her spine is in a dangerous position so I think they want to tackle that as fast as possible. She was only given the diagnosis late Saturday evening so we don't really know a lot at the moment. I know they've said that it's inoperable but I don't know why. I know she has three large tumours at the top part of her spine, below the neck, but that the rest of her spine has lots of other smaller masses. I know that the cancer fractured her arm a few weeks ago because it made the bone brittle, she lifted a kettle to make a cup of tea and it broke the bone. I know it's in her right breast and that they're said that is also inoperable. What I don't know I could fill an encyclopaedia with. She's very brave and pragmatic and I know that she's terrified but she's realistic about what's to come now. I feel so lost, I wish I knew more and the waiting to find out if this thing is going kill her next week, next year or a decade from now is overwhelming. Is there any guidance anyone could give me with the limited information I've provided? I know it isn't a lot, things are on pause because of the pregnancy. They don't know if it's spread to her organs yet but they're confident it isn't in her lungs. I don't know what type of cancer it is.
