Cervical cancer

Hi all in April i was told by my sister that my mom has stage 4 cervical cancer, im not close to my mom havent seen her for 10yrs its complicated, well im in touch with 2 of my sisters and they keep me updated with how my mom is. Today i was told she was sick all day monday and is now getting confused she has good days and bad days but more bad days now. I was told she needs an operation to fix her fistula but the hospital cant do that as of the corona virus she cant have chemo or any sort of help until her fistula is fixed the hospital keep saying we will call when we can do this but no phone call, my mom has now admitted herself back into hospital i really dont know how to feel i know that i wouldnt want anyone to go through the pain of having cancer as my nan had it and to see her with it was a nightmare. My sisters have said that my mom wanted me to know because she said i need to keep up with my smears as last yr i was told i had stage 1 which she found out. Anyway i just needed to share this as i dont know how too feel i just feel numb 

Xx

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis. It's obviously a difficult situation and I don't think that there is any right nor wrong way for you to feel about things. 

    Hopefully your Mum will be able to have the surgery that she needs but in the meantime I'm sure that the hospital will do all they can to help keep her comfortable. 

    I hope that sharing things here on the forum has helped. 

    Best wishes,
