Hi all,
I have no idea how to start this.
So my Mum is quite elderly (75) and has quite a few health issues over the years. Kidney failure, heart failure, PVD, TIA's etc but generally the last few years have been quite good. As the only son, I've always been there for her and always will be. Thankfully she lives with me and my fiance so is well looked after.
Mum had bladder cancer about 5 years ago and the hospital did a magical job and removed all the small tumors in the bladder and since then, there has no reoccurrence.
However earlier this year she started to struggle to eat solid foods. So we went to the GP and they were brilliant - chest X-Ray done withing a few days.
We found out that they found a 7.3cm growth on her right lung which is almost certainly cancerous.
Mum then had a Gastroscopy earlier this week and they've found more cancer in the mid of her oesophagus. They think it's likely this is the primary cancer, which clearly isn't great.
We are all just absolutely devastated and are now waiting to hear the biopsy results before we know more.
Mums sleeping all the time and is just distraught. I've no idea what I'm meant to do or to say.
I dont even know why I'm writing this lol nor do I know what to expect. I don't even know if I want to know.
