Hi,

my beautiful brave mum finally got her results today after a 5 week stay in one hospital and then a 3 day stay at kings college where she had her biopsy

she was told that her tumour is a grade 4 tumour. I think they said lymphoma. It's also only in the brain so primary brain lymphoma? Either way we're all devasted. She has been through so much in her life including a 22 year relationship that was mentally and physically abusive. Shes with someone else, has finally got the happiness she deserves and then this happens.

it's heart breaking. She has only just turned 50 too. Even after being told this she's so optimistic saying "I'm not going anywhere." And "I'll beat this." The specialist said that it's been caught early and it's not life threatening right now so hoping that when she starts radiotherapy and chemotherapy that she will get better. Her tumour caused the affects of a stroke so at the moment one side of her body is temporarily paralysed basically. My mum and I are so close. I've always said she is my soulmate. How do I even begin to process this? And how do I comfort my mum in such a horrible time? I feel useless right now.
