Jaundice Mum

Hello I hope you don't mind me posting, I'm so very worried.

My mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2 years ago, which she had chemo and it kept things at bay. She has recently had a scan which showed something in her bile duct, so she has started chemo again. She had it a week ago and has been much more ill than when she had it before. She also has jaundice and itching and I'm worried sick. Could this be because the chemo is attacking the tumour... or because it's too late?

  • Hello DaughterLove

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis and that she has been particularly unwell recently. 

    I can see that one of our nurses answered your other post earlier this afternoon. Do give them a call if you've any questions; I'm sure they will be happy to talk things through with you. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
