Hi, I have been lurking here long enough so thought it was about time I said Hello.

My mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer late last year (spread to liver & lymph nodes but small isolated specs rather than tumours), its unfortunately inoperable (for now) but she has started Pallative chemo (Capox) with a view to trying to manage the disease for as long as possible. 

I have been through every emotion possible and I am up & down like a yo-yo, trying to be strong for her the rest of the family.

She has her 4th chemo next week then they will do a scan to see if the chemo is working. Keeping everthing crossed and trying to be positive, trying to stop my mind wandering to dark thoughts about the future.

Anyway, thats me, just wanted to send a big hug to everyone going through the cancer @@@@ storm. It truly is something you cant prepare yourself for until it hits close to home.

xx
