Shock

Hi there

My Mum has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer which has spread to her liver. There is nothing they can do.

She came home from hospital yesterday. 

Mum is finding it difficult to eat because everything tastes horrible so I have suggested that she eat little and often.

This was all very sudden and hard to take in and deal with the life changes.

I have no idea of her prognosis and this worries me because I don't want her to suddenly go downhill without doing or saying all of the things that I need to.

So glad that there is support here. x

  • Hi, 

    I’ve recently been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, spread to glands, bones, stomach & bowel. I’ve already been told surgery would be for pain relief only if I needed it, otherwise I’ve just started chemo in hope of shrinking it.

    I imagine your poor mom is devastated as I am, is she being offered chemo?

  • Hi

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am so sorry about your diagnosis. The sound of that word just sends horror through your body. 

    It has been a shock for Mum because she can't understand how they can have made sich a dramatic diagnosis. I have done my best to try to explain things to her.

    Mum reached the amazing age of 90 on Saturday so she has had a long life - it still doesn't make it any easier. She still calls me "baby girl" and I am 60.

    I really hope that everything is positive for you with your chemo.

    Sending you lots of positive thoughts.
