My mum

Hi 

I just need to write this down...

my mum had ovarian cancer in 2002.  A hysterectomy and gruelling chemo and she cane out the other side.  Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, she went to the docs, got referred and has since has a biopsy,chest X-ray, CT, and tomorrow MRI with consultant appt on Monday for results. The fact it is so quick is totally scaring me- it must be bad.  I went to the doc with her yesterday and the doctor looked full of sympathy.  Said her cervix didn’t look ‘normal’. So we have to face that she has cervical cancer but how bad?  

I am petrified.  I’m sat her crying as I just can’t  lose my mum. She’s the most important person and I live her so much.  I have a history of mental health problems and has twins 18 months ago and suffered severe pnd for 14 months.  She has been my rock. She’s my best friend.  My husband works away a bit and she’s always helping me.  Especially since the twins came long.  I don’t want to lose my mum and I have to wait 6 days for results  

 

  • Hello Saraw342, 

    I am so sorry to hear about your mum and how much this is affecting you. It must be really hard for you, as you've been through all this before in 2002 and you now find yourself having to wait for the results of all these exams without knowing all the full facts yet. 

    It's normal to feel petrified and I hope you will find support in talking here to others who totally understand how you are feeling at the moment. How lovely that your mum has been there to support you as it can't be easy to have to look after twins. I hope you find out more soon as the wait must be incredibly difficult to deal with. 

    Keep us updated when you find out more in the next few days. 

    Best wishes to you and your mum,
