Cancer Diagnosis

Hi, I thought this group would be somewhere I could come to for support, my mum is in the process of early diagnosis t4 lunch cancer, likely in the liver too, tomorrow he will go to the Marsden with my dad for the PET scan and then we will find out what will happen, I havent slept for nearly a week, I feel constantly sick, the unknown is like a nightmare I'm in unable to wake up from.  The doctor sent my mum for a CT on her head also, we received the results today for no further action which has given me hope..  Does this mean the end, I've googled and it's a million times worse, I hear horror stories but also a few positive ones, I just dont know where to turn. 

  • Hello there xx 

    Sorry that you find yourself here and that you’ve been feeling so unwell. I remember feeling the same when my Mum was diagnosed....it is such an awful time xx 

    In my experience...once my Mum had had all of the tests and there was a solid plan in place for her treatment, I felt a whole lot better that we had something to aim for. Some hope. So....I’m hoping you’ll feel the same too, once your Mum’s PET scan is out the way. It’s the uncertainty and not knowing....it is truly a horrid time waiting and being in limbo xx 

    If you’re struggling with sleeping, anxiety and sickness....I am sure your GP would really like to hear from you as they may be able to offer you something to help. So don’t hesitate in contacting them xx also....please take care around google....like you say...the info can make things seem a million times worse xx 

    If you don’t know where to turn, please come here to this forum - you’re welcome here anytime xx
