Christmas 2017, Mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer which had spread to her right lung. She responded well to chemo and had debunking surgery in August. 

We we were told this was successful, and that she would have a follow up appointment in December. At this appointment mum mentioned she’d had a chest infection. The doctor ordered a scan and late December we were told the cancer had returned to the original sites. 

On January 3rd mum complained of migraine, she then had what I though to be a stroke. We were told it was cancer to the brain and nothing could be done. They are sending her home on palative care, hospital bed delivered etc. 

Im angry, I feel the doctors abondined her after the surgery, there were no follow up scans, no chemo etc. For the entire last year I asked them for a scan to the brain as if lost a friend who had secondary cancer to the brain. But was fobbed off with “Ovarian cancer doesn’t spread to the brain”

my mum is 61, she’s not ready to die and I feel no ones even willing to listen to her request for a second opinion or to try a clinical trial. 

I dont know what what to do.
