  • Hello Heli

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis. It's obviously been a difficult time for you all and with the distance between the two of you, this will undoubtedly have made things more difficult. 

    Unfortunately, no one here is able to interpret the results that your Mum has been given from her most recent CT scan. The best people for your Mum to speak to would be the Dr's who have been taking care of her since her initial diagnosis. Hopefully they will be able to give her a clearer outlook based on the scan results and explain what next steps might be available for your Mum. 

    I do hope that you both have some answers soon. 

    Best wishes,
