Hi, I’m Shelby (30) and my Mum has been given an estimated six months to live.

Hello,

my Mum has been battling Oesophageal cancer since January 2023. They caught it early and the tumour was small, but because of her other health issues, they couldn’t offer her the surgery to remove it. In further bad luck, she turned out to be dangerously allergic to the chemo, and the radio therapy caused her a lot of issues. 

She recently got a feeding tube inserted and was told that she has an estimated six months to live. I just don’t know what to do to help her.

Also, we’re so close and I don’t know how to be without her. I’m an only child and I lost my Dad when I was 15. I just don’t know what to do.
