So I've posted my recent frustrations about not being told much information on my mums cancer. Well on Friday I was told that I could visit her in hospital on Sunday (today). Straight away she told me that it is terminal. I think I was expecting the news, but I am still devastated!

I am a little lost and confused though. I asked her if they have given her a rough time frame and she said they haven't yet. She had a ct scan 3 weeks ago where it was first revealed that she had a tumour in her ovaries, a tumour in her bowel, and shadowing in her lung and liver. She had a second scan just under a week ago, and the doctors have said they have both grown quite a bit in that time. And I think it was on Friday, she had a biopsy from her liver which we are still waiting on the results. 

so they have said it's terminal purely based on the growth between the first and second ct scan? 

my mums partner said that he asked if they can just remove the tumours, and he said that they could, but it would risk bleeding? He was very brief about it and I wasn't in the state of mind to be asking questions. But I'm guessing the risk of bleeding internally would end her then and there? 

like I said I didn't ask any questions after being told it's terminal, as all I've done for the last 2 weeks is ask questions. 

would the results from her liver biopsy determine what care she gets going forward from here? And would that give doctors more of an indication of how long we have left? 

My mind is all over the place as this has all happened so quickly. From her having a sore tummy 3 weeks ago to being told she has terminal cancer before even getting biopsy results?! She's only in her early 60's and always been in good health. 

my heart breaks to think that my own son won't grow up to know his nana, and that she won't witness me raising her grandchild, passing on all the values and good manners that she taught me :(
