My Mum has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, with a mass. She is having surgery in a couple of weeks. Since her diagnosis she has kind of given up, she is not eating much, not exercising and has basically shut off.

I want her to be in the best position for the operation and we as a family are trying to make her see its a positive thing that she has the chance of an operation, but its very frustrating as she is just seeing cancer.

How can i help her?
