My mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2019. She’s had six lines of chemotherapy and hormonal treatment. She was recently referred for trials but is not eligible for them. Her cancer has been progressing and if she does not respond to this line of treatment the consultant said she’s likely to have under 12 months left to live. I’m finding this really hard to cope with. I’m almost in denial. I have no idea how to manage it and I find myself shutting it out. I’m not sure what I’m asking here but maybe just your stories or some words of encouragement. I’m an only child, I’m all my mum really has and I love her so much. I hate seeing her go through this alone but I’m struggling to be there for her because if I’m there for her it’s real.
