Waiting game of hell

Hi Everyone

We found out my lovely mum has a brain tumour 3 days ago and my god it’s come as a shock, and by the sounds of it it’s secondary. We are such a close family, my dad normally shows no emotion is an absolute wreck.My sister and I are both pregnant - my sister due in 2 weeks me in 4 months. 

We are still waiting for the results and have been told, the doctor will see you this afternoon then discharge for 3 days and we don’t have much more news and shes still in hospital. 

Today she said she’s worried about not being here to see the babies and she doesn’t want to die.

After meeting with the doctor today, he suggested there may be a connection with her ovary and now we’ve jumped on it which probably wasn’t the best thing to do . By the sounds of it we won’t find anything out concrete until Monday and it’s mental torture. We are terrified! i am living out my nightmares

  • Hello Lucy1988 and welcome to the forum, i am really sorry to hear that your mum has a brain tumour, and as i lost my mum to cancer ,can understand what a stressful, emotional and worrying time it is for you all. Everyone goes through a traumatic time with a cancer diagnosis, then with the waiting for results, a diagnosis and what treatment options are to come makes it even harder. Lucy this really is the hardest time, Once your mums doctors know exactly what cancer she has and what treatments there are, things should feel a little better, As you said it's not a good idea to go with your doctor thinks, best to wait for the facts. I hope tomorrow brings a little good news, take care, Eddie
