My mum has seen a consultant today after experiencing increasing unpleasant symptoms (struggling to eat and pain) and told from CT scan results most likely cancer. The plan is to remove 1ft of large bowel and 20 lymph nodes. Without the op her outlook is not good as bowel is very blocked.
My mum is 81 and has a slow heart beat which might make surgery difficult (coming round after surgery) and a few other health issues but is mentally strong. She was in shock with the news today but is processing all the information.
Just asking if anyone else been through something similar or relatives going through this? I don't know what to expect for her with possible outcome etc.
