My mother went for a scan 3 weeks ago where they found two tumours, one in her ovaries and one in her bowel, and also shadowing on her lungs and her liver.
her partner has been updating myself and my sister daily since. The consultants at the hospital had a meeting last week and she was admitted into hospital to an admissions ward on Monday morning this week, she had blood tests taken and another scan. And she has now been moved to a surgical ward.
these are the only updates we have had. No "the doctors have said this and that" I've not heard a single thing that a doctor has told them and then been passed onto us. Which is extremely difficult and frustrating, to the point where it's causing arguments between me and my sister, as I keep pushing for information and she is saying they don't know anything.
im at the point now where I just think "well they must know something, but my mum doesn't want to say yet..." which I can understand if that is the case. But it doesn't make anything any easier. Everyone is just waiting and stressing out for some kind of diagnosis or word on what the plan is to treat her. 3 weeks and we just don't know what has been said.
I feel like I need to just give everyone space, but it is so difficult as I am so concerned and worried.
Communication with my mum is short if anything. Which I understand as she is going through all of this and very tired. I said I would try to come visit her in hospital some time soon and she told me to leave it for a while, to which I asked how long a while is and she told me she doesn't know.
I just don't know how to be? I feel selfish even posting to this forum
