So the worst few weeks of my mum's life have just happened. 

After being poorly with a suspected kidney infection, my mum has just been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. She went for an emergency CT 3 weeks ago to be told she had a partially solid mass 30x30x20 cm. After a meeting with a gynaecological oncologist we were informed that there were lessions on the lung and potential for growth to the bone. Surgery is the only option just to make my mum more comfortable. On Sunday she was admitted to prepare for surgery 2 days later on. Unfortunately due to infection mum developed sepsis. This is being treated with iv antibiotics. She was weak but the team decided to carry on with the operation on Tuesday. The op was scheduled to last around 6 hours. After 90 mins the consultant came to see me and my family and we were told that the tumour was so complex that if it was removed she would of died in theatre. There is no active treatment now available for my mum. Is palliative care from now on. Its all come so quickly. They have said she has a matter on days possibly short weeks. 

She is so so scared. How can I help. What do I do to comfort as best I can? We have a great family network around us but I just want to help relieve some of this fear and anxiety. Any advice would be appreciated. Tom.
