Mam has cancer not sure what stage yet.

My mam is currently in hospital with stomach cancer we have just been told today … the fluid of pressure affected her brain quite quick so she has lost her memory she does keep shouting names like my name my dads and her grandkids and it’s the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever had to deal with we are all hoping that they will giver her surgery but they are deciding what they are going to do tomorrow. Whether they can operate or not I’ve never been so scared in my life and I’m just hoping that they do operate and it’s not to late. My mental health has been massively affected by this and I need to be strong for my children and my dad . 

  • Hello corriebox, so sorry for what your Mother and you and your family are all going through.  I nursed my own Mother with terminal cancer, so I know how you are feeling.  I won't tell you not to worry, because that would not help would it?  OF COURSE you are massively worried, and the only thing I can say is to take one day at a time and cross each bridge when you get to it.  These are all cliches, but there really isn't anything else that you can do until you know EXACTLY what stage your Mother's cancer is at, and where her medical team decide to go from there.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, and once again, so sorry for what you are going through, xx

  • hello blue girl I’m struggling not going to lie she’s been up and down at the moment she’s not able to move her arms and hands much but she squeezed my hand today and was moving her legs to she’s still confused but the doctor came in asked her where she lived she knew the exact address and she also knew her date of birth and also where she was, that has to be a good sign they did give her steroids thou if it was in the brain I’m not even sure if the steroids would work like that it’s very strange indeed even the doctor was thinking it was mad that she remembered these things. But I’m not going to build my hopes up cx
