My mum has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Right up until 10 weeks ago she had zero symptoms. Then just before Christmas she had tenderness and pain in her lower abdomen. She was fine in her self , eatting and being her amazing self. Fast forward the first week in January 2024 and this mass turns out to be a huge tumor in her pelvis. She has lost a massive amount of weight and isn’t eatting. What she does eat barely covers 300cals a day. She is laying in bed all day just taking morphine for the pain. We have an appointment with the gynocologist in a few days. She has all of a sudden become bitter and a person I barely know. I asked had someone else jumped in her body as my mum would never sit by and watch me cry but she did with no emotion. She has become rude and snappy and my dad who is 88 is baring the brunt. Could it be that it has spread to her brain or does cancer turn you in to a monster? I am at my wits end. She should be in hospital as if the cancer doesn’t kill her the malnutrition and refusal to eat will. Sorry just needed to rant.
