Mum diagnosed yesterday

I feel a bit of a fraud posting on here as it’s not actually me that has received a diagnosis; my Mum was diagnosed yesterday straight after her colonoscopy. We werent given too much information just that they saw a malignant structuring tumour/colonic tumour during the procedure. Her post procedure report, and we learned from speaking to the consultant the tumour was so large the camera was impassible. We are now awaiting to hear about dates for an MRI and a CT scan. Again my apologies as this really isn’t and shouldn’t be about me but I’m absolutely terrified for her. As a family, we have had a recent bad experience losing a young family member to triple negative breast cancer so naturally, I am fearing the worst. I’m trying so hard to be positive. 

Just thought about popping on here to see if anyone has had a similar experience and what happened? 

Much love to everyone going through this god awful disease and thank you in advance.

  • Hi there ...

    Firstly please don't opologise ... this is for everyone effected by cancer .. so your most welcome .. and this is a great place to vent , or chat , nearly anything ...  

    Cancer has come a long way , but we see the sad stories on t.v ... when there's plenty of good endings on here too .. my heart goes out to you, we only get one mum .. and I still miss mine 30 years on ... 

    I'm a Brest lass .. came on here two years ago, scared and thinking my time was up... but I'm still here and doing o.k ...  I've been on both sides of cancer .. and I think it's harder watching someone you love go threw it .. so don't beat yourself down, your amazing and caring .. bet your mum is so proud of you ..

    Sending you a vertual hug ... Chrissie xx
