Mum newly diagnosed

My mums just been diagnosed with bowel and liver cancer. Shes just had a liver biopsy to find the primary. Results on the 18th. 

The limbo we are living in and the not knowing is just awful. Shes my world,my best friend and I'm so scared. My son whos 4 knows his nana is poorly as she was in hospital for something unrelated when they found it. He keeps asking if she better yet and it kills me.

It's just so painful to think about.... I just cry all the time... i try not to in front of my son... but laying here on my own i just cant help it.

Any comments welcome....Stories of others and how we get through this... weve never had cancer in the family before so it's even harder... I dont even know what to expect ....

  • [@Beckaaddi]‍ Sorry to see your post, we are also in the midst of this nightmare, my mum was diagnosed in October with incurable Bowel cancer which had spread to Liver & Lypmh nodes in neck. We are waiting now to see if her chemo is working. 

    If you havent done already please head over to the forums on Bowel Cancer uk, the people on there are wonderfully supportive. I also posted on here and had no replies apart from one other person who had a parent also just daignosed, I also suggested they head over there. Its a bit more tailored to our specific issues. 

    I post as PB1904 on the forum over there, hope to see you soon x

     

  • Aww it's awful isn't it... fingers crossed for you that chemo is working for your mum xxx 

    Thank you for the recommendation I will certainly have a look on there..
