Hello

Hi everyone,

 

just wanted to say Hello. My mum has been told a week gone that they have found cancer. She had been having stomach cramps and the runs since September last year. Investigations have been going on since then and she was diagnosed with colitis. The consultant said there was a shadow on her liver and sent her for a camera. This is when they found the cancer. We don't know what type or stage yet. They are having an MDT meeting tomorrow to discuss. I'm devastated and can't get negative thoughts out of my head. I'm scared because it has been going goon for 6 months that it's advanced and terminal. My mum is only 59 and couldn't bare it if anything was to happen. 

 

Thanks for listening. 

  • Hello Tracy,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    How did the MDT meeting go? I am sorry to hear your mum has recently been diagnosed and has been having symptoms since September. I hope you have since found out a little bit more about the type and staging and that you soon have a treatment plan in place.

    You are bound to have lots of questions running through your mind at the moment - if you ever need to talk to our cancer nurses or ask them anything, you can reach them on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

    Hopefully you will also meet others here who have recently had a similar diagnosis or who have a relative who is going through the same thing as your mum at the moment.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
