Hi Lauren I’m so sorry to hear about your mum’s diagnosis life is so cruel. My mum was diagnosed in 2020 with liver , lung and hip cancer , we thought she had Covid as her only symptoms were fatigued all the time . Unfortunately her cancer was to far advanced for treatment so we made the best of the time we all had as a family . My brother was also diagnosed within weeks with oesophagus cancer at the age of 48 with a beautiful wife and 2 young children . After treatment and surgery he had amazing results with the all clear but leaving him with no oesophagus so meal times would just be very little and often . Unfortunately yet again his cancer returned affecting liver and lung resulting in more heartbreaking news . I’m so sorry for replying to your post with such saddening news but there is hope with the support of a beautiful caring family. My husband was recently unwell after having a very sudden heart attack but recovered  extremely well after 4 Stents . He is a builder by trade so very fit and active, unfortunately yet again cancer strikes so he has been diagnosed with the same cancer as my brother resulting in a complete change in lifestyle regarding diet and soft foods but he has began his journey with a very positive and strong mind as we also have 3 children, 1 grandchild and another grandchild on the way and I do believe this will help him fight . So he has also started before any treatment Oxygenated Therapy to help him oxygenate his body and mind before  chemotherapy . I also felt I couldn’t express the pain and heartbreaking shock of my mums illness as she was like you said my rock , friend and the most amazing nan to my children , stay strong for your family and it’s definitely good to talk
