My step-mum, who in my eyes is basically my mum, was recently diagnosed with Womb Cancer. We were waiting the results of the scan to confirm whether it was Stage 1 or 2 and then were hit with the bombshell that it was stage 3 and they needed to do a further scan to check it hadn't spread to her lungs. 

I'm all sorts of emotions right now. We didn't even think stage 3 was on the table let alone the possibility of stage 4. She's the Nanny to my little boy and I don't even know where to start to explain this when she starts to get sick. 

They haven't even said surgery is a possibility. At the moment there is talks of Chemotherapy 3 times a week every 3 weeks and potential for her to have some experimental treatment if she fits the criteria. 

I just have no idea how to help. We've offered to support them financially if they need it, and sort meals out for when she's too ill from treatment. We've even offered to buy her a sofa bed incase she deteroriates and can't make it up the stairs. We're trying to stay optimistic, but it seems the odds are against her. 

We've already lost family members to Covid and this is just the icing. I just need somewhere to vent as I feel so useless.
