2 and a half weeks ago my mum was rushed into hospital with stomach pains, after being told by the doctor she had a water infection from kidney stones.
After a few scans and x-rays she was told they had found a mass in her bowel and she had to agree to have exploratory surgery to find what it was, she woke up in a high dependancy unit with part of her bowel having been removed and had been given a stoma.
The consultants came round the next day to tell us that mum had an aggressive stage four bowel cancer and it had spread to the liver and the spine.
My mum is only 58 and at 29 myself I'm really struggling to come to terms with the severity of everything that has happened and how one day my mum was absolutely fine and the next, I don't know how long I have left with her.
I can't but worry for my mum as she won't open up and I can only imagine how scared she is.
Has anyone else gone through similar as I feel I have nobody to talk to at the momsnt
