Not sure why I'm posting but maybe to feel like I'm not alone.
In September 19 my 46 year old mum got diagnosed with breast cancer. After treatment started it was confirmed it had spread to liver and bones. Devastated isn't the word.
Fast forward (by 2 months) and she is feeling dizzy. We suggest we take her to A&E, on nye. While we were waiting for blood test results she had 2 major seizures. Right then I knew what it was. It was confirmed by a CT that it had extensively spread to brain and she was in hospital for over a week. She is undergoing wbr to ease symptoms but prognosis obviously isn't good. Her voice has gone and she is unable to do anything for herself anymore, and she's quickly deteriorated.
I just can't believe this time 6 months ago we were living our lives and the fact she will never get better is what hurts me the most.
i admire everyone who is caring for someone with cancer and especially brain mets as it is one of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my life.
