Hi 

Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong place

My mum was told on Thursday she has cancer in her bowel, ovaries and on the lining of her liver. An operation isn't an option (I can't remember why exactly as it's all a bit of a blur but I think because it's in a few places) she is starting chemotherapy next Monday but they have said they cant cure it, so the chemo is to hopefully slow down the growth and at best reduce it. 

My mum is completely well, she is 70 fit and active and only found out as routine blood tests had high readings and then a CT scan showed a tumor.

My Dad sadly passed away in 2001 from bowel cancer and I can't believe I am now having to go through it all again. I am so scared, upset and worried. I am worrying constantly about my mum and how she must be feeling, she is putting a brave face on it, I'm dreading going with her to the chemo next week as that is when it will all feel real and I'm worried how poorly she will be from the treatment. 

I just need to speak to someone, I know I've got to be strong for her and I have a 2 year old to look after but I'm scared what the next few months will bring and scared she is going to go through so much pain
