Heads in a spin!

Hi all, my mum had a tumour that was removed (full hysterectomy) also some cancer remains in the upper vagina.The cancer also spread to her abdominal lining. We were told last week that as it's floating in the membrane it will be hard to get it all with chemo, so there words were 'we can't guarantee to cure it' but we can control it. Mum starts chemo on Monday and we then take it from there! In my head I'm just totally fearing the worst! Scared how she is going to be after chemo and where this will all end up! X 

  • Hi there Diane ... so sorry to hear your mums going through this time , and it is a scary time for you too ... there’s lots of us on here that are on the same journey... and the one thing that makes it overwhelming is looking too far ahead and thinking “what if” ... on this cancer journey of ours if we can take one problem and one day at a time ... it helps us cope a tad better ... I’m on a cancer journey too , and like you my son was in a bit of a panic (and me if I’m honest) my daughter in law told us to stop looking ahead and stop the what ifs ... she said we’ll deal with whatever comes up if and when it does ... and we’ll walk this path .. TOGETHER ... it sure has seen us through some tough times and will face the future a day at a time ... 

    you have time to walk this path with your mum ... hold each other’s hands .. and tell each other all your hearts want to say ... yes you’ll have tears, and lots of hugs, and lots of different emotions ... it’s all part of this journey we find our selfs on, but seeing me cope, helped my son cope and we chat about everything... and we’ve even had a few chuckles along the way too ... 

    so hunny , hang on in there ... there’s always someone here you can chat too , who really do know how it feels .. sending you a big hug ... Chrisie xx
