may 21st 2021- it feels like mums been through hell and back time after time, we have a diagnosis now, mum has Peritoneal Cancer which cant be operated on so she will undergo chemo in tablet form and by drip...
i went to the consultant appointment with her yesterday and i found it positive at the time mainly because the consultant referred to the cancer as the stomach lining, but since remember the word peritoneal which he repeated frequently i have read what this actually means and its not quite as simple as just the stomach lining so its put me down again.
Im praying mum will have the same reaction to the chemo she had first time round when she was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer just 1 session showed a huge imrpovement to the size of the cancer, the consultant said its not impossible that the chemo could shrink the cancer to pretty much nothing so thats what im holding on to..
i stupidly googled Peritoneal cancer i shouldnt of, the articles i found are so miserable and basically say there is no way back and now that is playing on my mind.
Mum had a blockage which i now know would of been caused by the cancer so she currently has a bag draining her kidney, she also feels the constant need to wee but nothing comes out, so a nurse is coming today to fit a catheter.
I just want her to be able to lead a normal life and do things together as a family without her feeling unwell...
