Stage4 stomach cancer

Can anyone relate or offer help. My mam has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. Official diagnosis is Gastric carcrnona with liver metastases. They have said treatment will not help it's very aggressive type. They told us that she had a life expetence of 12 months. But today gave me a form to say she had less than 6 months. My mum is really all the support I have. How do I know when to start preparing myself. Every time she says she isn't feeling well I'm freaking out twice this week I've though that is it 

  • Hi there.. firstly, I’m so sorry that you’re all going through this. I know how you feel. 

    I lost my mum in May this year after a very late diagnosis of lung metastasis, which we later learned had spread to her liver and then into the fluid of her brain. She was diagnosed with Leptomeningeal disease on the 2nd May. She sadly passed away on the 27th May.

    nobody is prepared for what’s to come, because we know the heartbreaking prognosis. Just try and make the most of the time you have left with your mum and try to be strong for her, she needs you. I had 25 days to make memories, but my mum got sick real quick so we didn’t have time. Also take time for yourself because it’s VERY important that you do. I’ll be thinking of you all x

  • I'm so scared I lost my dad to skin cancer when I was a child and me mam has been my only constant since. So sorry about your mum. I'm trying to do things but she just too poorly x
