What is your story?

Hi michaelann hope you feeling ok my situation my mother was diagnosed with bowel cancer two years ago. She had op they found two big turmours she had to start chemo that made here so I'll she was in hospital for two months.she was starting getting better then this July she had routine scan they did find mass she had more test because they didn't know where it was or what it was.few weeks ago she had phone saying that oppoinment was made to see cancer Doctor she thought she was going to see what treatment she was starting.when she went they said the mass is on you bowel and it's inoperable my mother still didn't think what was going on . The doctor said have you speclist been touch she said no. She told my mother that she haven got long they offered chemo the one she had before to give her bit time she said no because it made here I'll is they told here there nothing else. Week went by she had to go back see doctor then they told here it's gone in here blood as well we all shock only yesterday she had oppoinment to see here speclist because my father told them the way treated my mother was terrible . I'm to scared to see my mother later on because I dread what she going to tell us what the speclist said to here. It's so frightening for here and for as because we don't want to loss here but we can't do nothing that the hardest thing to do. Take care x

Thanks Michelle - funnily enough I'm not having an angry day today but I'm going through all the emotions text book fashion.

My dad's death was a bit of a relief as he had dementia but mum's cancer is so cruel as she is only 71 and was in decent health prior to diagnosis.  I don't think I'll ever feel relief with her.

Hi michaelann hope you don't mind me answering you post you just sent to missbeets.I totally agree with you cancer it's so cruel what they got to go though when they been told they got cancer.then they got to go though chemo or other treatments when the the treatment don't work there nothing else. They been told there nothing then they got deal with being told they haven got long.its so not fair my grandfather died of dementia i agree when he died it was blessing.my mother 72 it's so not fair. What gets to me they say they that close in finding cure when. there so many people children are dying with cancer right now any type cancer they need to stop talking about neally got cure and actually have cure. You don't realize until it happens to you or come on this site what cancer really doing to the person who got cancer and they families cancer effects everyone. So sorry for rambling it's so hard x

I know and I also think it's harder for the family than the person who is diagnosed. That seems to be the case with my family anyway - my mum just accepted it all so calmly.  I think on some level she is glad she won't be living a long time without my dad.  She has decided not to have chemo and I respect that.  When you think about the money that is spent on funding wars and what it could be used for.

it could 4 months to a year

I'm so sorry I don't know what the best knowing or not knowing. Anytime you need Chat you know where I'm take care x
