I don't know what to say. My mum was diagnosed ten weeks ago. Everything has declined so quickly. She kept so much from me to protect me and I still don't feel I have a clear picture of what is happening. On Friday, she was taken to A and E with terrible pain in her side. She was struggling with being moved. We sat in the back of the ambulance for five hours before being found a bed. She's now been moved to a ward early hours of this morning. She is slightly jaundiced and can be quite confused when talking to her.my lovely mum is struggling and I'm not sure why I'm posting this other than to get it off my chest because I have no one else in my family to talk to. She finally admitted to me today she has been told it's palliative care. I'm in shock. I truly thought we could do chemo and surgery and get through this. When I came home from the hospital last night I looked in her bag and found the truth of what's been going on. She'd written me a farewell letter. I feel so angry and the sadness so overwhelming. I just want to know how long we have-if any time at all. I don't know.
