Hi all, 

I'm not sure what I'm hoping to achieve from posting, but I suppose I'd like to process what's happening, and here seems like a safe place to do so. 

My mum has been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, which has spread to her liver and lungs. 

As I think most people expect, we assumed she would receive chemo, but on Monday, her oncologist told us that her liver function may be too low to cope with any treatment, and, if that's the case, only her symptoms would be managed. 

She's had further tests and we go back for the go/no go meeting on Monday. I just can't begin to fathom how to cope if on Monday it's no go! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you x
