Mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2018, she had a hysterectomy to remove it (it was a very big tumour in her stomach area) and after that she had some chemotherapy to hopefully remove any leftover cancer cells lurking around, things were calm for a little bit (mum and dad got divorced on unrelated matters, I haven't seen my dad since then and so have complicated feelings about him) then the cancer came back a couple years ago but it wasn't really treatable as it had gotten into her lymph nodes, from there it just progressed until a few weeks ago she had a blood test and they told us they had mistakenly tested for infection and her infection number was high, which they said it would be because of the cancer, but they got her into hospital anyway to check her over and they discovered the cancer had spread to her liver, one of her kidneys and spleen, from there she was taken into palliative care where they just tried to keep her as comfortable as possible and is where she passed, in her last few moments she was barely conscious and coughing up green foam which my aunt and I kept wiping away, then suddenly her breathing changed and we called in the nurses and she passed away, sorry about this post being so long, its just been a really long road, we knew this would happen eventually but it still feels so awful and surreal, mum was 62 and I'm 28, I have a brother who is 25 and we saw her together the day before, he didn't want to come on that last day because it was too sad for him, I'm glad he didn't have to see her in her last moments as it was quite upsetting.

I have my 2 aunts, one is mum's sister and another is mum's best friend since primary school, mum's 2 best friends from work were also there in her last moments, so I know I have lots of friends and family to support me but I still just feel a little shell shocked.
