Hi, 

I've never done this before so I'm extremely nervous! But thought I'd pop on here to see if anyone can help... 

My mum has been battling ovarian cancer for 5 years. Unfortunately she had a relapse last year and a year of chemo which didn't work. She is now being treated palliatively (very early stages, literally had the convo with oncologist yesterday and final decision was made to make the referral to palliative nurses). 
 

mums cancer started with ovarian 5 years ago, throughout the years it has spread and she's had various surgeries to fix it which seemed to have worked (at the time). Here's where she's at, at the moment: we know she has multiple lung nodules, something showed on the lining of her abdomen on her last CT scan which oncologist said 'looks suspicious' too. She also had a small lumpy nodule at the bottom right of her tummy just above her groin. Also, she had surgery last year as the cancer was at the end of her bowel and she now has a stoma. 
 

now.... she is in A LOT of pain with her stomach at the moment. The pain comes in waves and takes her breath away, she says it feels something like contractions. Also, her stomach makes the MOST remarkable gurgling noises, it literally sounds like water whirling down a drain. She had a few complications with her stoma recently, so she is only eating very little... but if she does manage to have half a meal (last night she fancied a shepherds pie but only managed half) she absolutely pays for it. She's in a lot of pain curled up on the sofa. 

I understand this may be and probably will be a progression of the disease, but I'm just wondering if anyone has similar experiences? I can't help thinking that these stomach noises and constant sick feeling are some sort of indication that the cancer has spread more so to her stomach? 
 

please get in touch if you have any info :)
