Hi,

I use to care for both my parents who were diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Unfortunately my Dad who initially had breast cancer but then it spread to his bones passed away on December. Im am still coming to terms with it and trying to deal with the grief. My Mum initially had ovarian cancer which has now spread to her stomach, lungs, all over. She was doing okay but fluid built up in her stomach. She had a drain, she’s had one previously and she was fine. This time the fluid has returned really quickly and the doctors and nurses have started mentioning palliative care. I’m petrified. I can’t lose my Mum as well. I’m an only child, none of our relatives live nearby. I have an amazing husband but I can’t go through it all again. I’m so worried about my Mum. I don’t think I’m going to be able to cope but I know I need to be strong for my Mum.
