Waiting for Mums results…

Hi,

my mum is awaiting an MRI to see what’s going on with her liver/pancreas. She has all the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. I’m so worried I’m going to lose my mum at 20 but have a strange feeling that it’s not going to be anything else. Clinging onto hope but I just know deep down. Not really sure what the point of my post was but I needed to tell someone my worries.

  • I know how it feels waiting for such news. I too am 20 and was waiting on results of my dad in his 50s three weeks ago for oesophageal cancer which is also a nasty one. To me I felt like I was waiting for the worst or best day of my life. You have to find it in yourself to calm yourself for now. Go out for walks, see friends, and keep busy even if you don’t feel like it. But also spend time with mum when you can, it helps both of you feel better. I hope you get good news and it’s in human nature to assume the worst just try to fight it. It is what it is and there’s nothing which can be done while waiting. 

    I recommend coming back to these forums no matter the results. This community is a great one.
