Please help

Hi everyone im new here but have dealt wirh cancer as my dad passed away with it 4 years ago now but this post is about my mum. Although we have not got a diagnosis we are almost certain its cancer. She started with bleeding from her bottom 6 months ago then went on and had bleeding in urine and now has been coughing up flem with blood in it. She will not go to a doctor or have one out to see her no matter what we do. Loosing my dad was very hard for her and she has other anxiety problems plus is disabled. Im just wanting to know if its what we are thinking and its colon cancer its obviously spread but how bad will it get and how long do we have left with her please? 

 

  • Hi there ...

    Bless ya .. no one here can say if your mum's got cancer as wer not medically qualified... just people with cancer or caring for someone with cancer... so I can understand why your mum is so scared after seeing what your dad went through ...  but unless she goes she will never know if it's treatable... that's IF it is cancer ... 

    I don't know how you can persuade your mum .. but even if she is diagnosed ... it's still down to her if she wants treatment or not ...  so if you can get her to be just tested she'll know what she's dealing with  ....but if she sticks to her guns .. all you can do is be there for her ... maybe if there's lots of support and NO pressure.. she'll feel in control of what happens ..

    Good luck .. Chrissie xx
