Hi everyone.
My mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer just over 2 years ago. It was stage 4 and pretty much everywhere in her body. she had chemo on its own, then chemo with avastin, then surgery and now tablets. The tablets were working great for the last 6 months. Levels were dropping and she felt great. Suddenly she had a lot of pain and went for a scan where the showed that the cancer had spread to every organ that she had left. They're keeping her on the tablets until they run out and then taking her off with no other options.
she doesn't ask about life expectancy but it's something i worry about and want to be prepared for. Am I looking at weeks? Months? Anyone else been through something similar with a family member who can shed some light.? She's ok through the day although she gets tired but the pain is really bad for her at night. The morphine doesn't even touch it. I'm also terrified of telling my little boys. They're so innocent and pure and both love her to pieces and have no idea she's ill. Both boys under 8. Have no idea what to do :(
