Tuesday is the big day

Less than one minute read time.

So right now Im on Hospital family accommodation in Basingstoke and my mum is on the ward. Its so strange. I have been waiting for this day for months and now its here I want to run away. Mum's big op is on Tuesday and its sixteen hours plus long. Its so surreal. Its a radical treatment called the sugar baker technique that will drain her mucus out of her stomach/abdo/ torso area and then they will apply warm chemo directly into the cavity for one hour and drain that out. I cant say Im not bricking it quite frankly, Ive never been this scared in my life. Im not religious but mum is so out of respect to her I am praying to whatever higher being there may be that she'll get through this. I already lost dad to cancer when I was 13 and not prepared to lose mum at 24 years old!

    Hi Elise.

    I wish both your Mum and you the best of luck on Tuesday and will be praying that your Mum's Op goes well.

    Come Tuesday I will be thinking of you both and hopefully you will keep everyone updated on how your Mum is doing and how the Op went.

    Cancer seems to affect some of the best people in life, but also the strongest, most determined, amazing and inspirational people, so i'm positive that your Mum will be just fine.

    I'm 23 and my DEAR DAD is suffering from cancer right now, so if you'd ever like to chat, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

    Again I wish you both the best of luck and my thoughts/prayers will be with you both.
