I'm just devastated - four years ago this week mum was diagnosed with Breast cancer - has chemo and radio and although was hard for her she got through it.

went for a routine eye test at the opticians and referred and they said she has Mets In one of her eyes.

i know this isn't good they are investigating to see if it's elsewhere - just devastated for my poor mum she's only i. Her 60s and the kindest most lovely person - I just don't know what to do 

I don't know what to say or how I can help her

 

 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Clare, although I'm sorry about your mum.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in your mum's situation will let you know what they found helpful at this time but I hope the information we have on how to support someone will be beneficial as well.

    If you'd like to talk with someone in person about this then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We'll have everything crossed that the cancer hasn't spread anywhere else Clare.

    Kind regards, 

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
