After weeks of tests and suspected lymphoma my mother has today been told she has cancer above the jaw meaning somewhere in her head. She has pain/ swelling in her lymph nodes in her neck which is causing her discomfort eating - we are told is a result of the cancer somewhere else and it is definitely not in the lymph nodes. I feel absolutely desperately sad and scared for the future. My poor mum doesn’t have a wide support network and I live 200 miles away and have young children. I visit as often as possible but I feel so far away and like I’m letting her down. We have more tests to follow to locate the cancer - mri, PET and endoscopy and it is totally overwhelming. I would hugely appreciate any advice for supporting my mum in the best way. I can’t imagine how frightening it must be for her. Thanks in advance x
