    Hi [@Angelzs]‍ ,

    I am in a very similar situation ,so you are not alone ! My mom also has cervical cancer - mets now to adrenal gland, lungs and brain. She is close to the end of the journey unfortuntely. I currently put my London life on hold - work , relationship etc and moved in with my dad in their studio,whom I don't get along with. I completely understand the feeling of loneliness, I have it so often myself. But we are stronger than we think we are. And sounds like your mother still has options ! Doctors here gave up on mother quite quickly and they just told us to put her in an hospice for end of life care after only trying one chemo cycle last year.

    Just take it one day at a time and see what tomorrow brings, please do not overthink!
