My mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer nearly 12 Months ago. I genuinely thought we could fight it and all would be ok. But after chemotherapy, a huge operation that took her spleen ovaries and part of her bowel and left her with a colostomy bag there is nothing more they can do.
They have said the cancer is just too aggressive and back in May we were told she would deteriorate over the next 6 weeks and they were right. Her ankles, legs and thighs are full of fluid she is struggling to walk around, her appetite is very poor and just so tired and exhausted all the time.
it’s horrible watching and not knowing what to do and watching your mom struggling with simple tasks and knowing it isn’t going to get better.
i just can’t cope watching and waiting it’s horrible and I’m struggling to cope with it.
