Hi,
My mum is 65 and we're waiting for diagnosis. We already know almost for certain it's cancer but still waiting for the biopsy result to confirm it. It seems like it's just waiting, waiting, waiting, and while we've been waiting (she went to the doctors early January), she's gone from being fine to really poorly.
She's just come out of hospital where she went in after passing out, to have fluid drained, blood, another biopsy because they missed the first one, and a semi permanent chest drain. All just treating the side effects. She can't eat a lot, she's tired all the time and sleeps a lot, just washing her hair finishes her off for the day. And nothing is actually being done to treat the cancer yet!
Is all this waiting normal? I feel like while we're waiting the cancer is just growing and spreading unstopped and that her chances of coming out the other end of this are lowering. We know it's already at least spread to somewhere in the abdomen.
