My mum was diagnosed with colon cancer a week ago. She was originally told that they’d caught it early, that she could have an op. She was also diagnosed with diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis.

Since then they’ve scanned and the tumour is wrapped around her colon, they can’t operate and she has  ‘cancer seeds’ in other places like her neck. They now think it’s been growing for 8 years. She needs lifetime chemo. She’s losing lots of weight.

She doesn’t see a nurse til June 10th but I’ve got so many questions! What’s a cancer seed? What are good supplements to help? I’ve bought her a nutribullet for high calorie / nutrition smoothies and some CBD oil, my brothers got her grape seed extract .  Does lifetime chemo mean you go in once a week?  Does this mean it's late stages? 

I know you prob can’t answer but I’m still in shock and desperately trying to learn this new language. :(. I don't want to lose her :(
