I keep moaning about middle age because everyone we care about is starting to decline or suffer from some form of debilitating disease with uncertain prognoses. I remember thinking adults had it easier but I long for more carefree times. I hope you and your mum handle the chemo times well and I hope it beats it into submission. Stage 4 (as my partner's melanoma is) is stressful but irrational or not I always hope. I recognise the yo-yo moods though. Keep us posted x

Not advice but here to say you're not alone. I feel the same. Husband stage 4 duodenum. Complete rollocoaster of emotions 

This is exactly what mum has been diagnosed with! Apparently it is rare! 
She has got 6 months of chemotherapy ahead of her. So scared. 

Yes also heard rare. Not given option of surgery, chemo offered initially for 4 months. Husbands just turned 44 and we have a 5 and 1 year old. Trying to stay positive but feeling all the emotions. I guess it's normal as so many what ifs with treatment and future. I hope your mum responds well to Chemo. 

Hey there, I've just had a stage 4 cancer diagnosis for my dad and I'm scared too. I don't have any advice, as it's all very fresh, but your ups and down sound very similar to what I'm experiencing. Just wanted to let you know I saw your message and sending my best wishes for the chemo x
